Parking-data-parser loads the data that Where's Parking reads from the vendor API. It is a Lambda in custom-asheville account that is called once a minute.

Where’s Parking is a GitHub pages hosted React app. The app makes a GET request to a static JSON file in an Amazon S3 bucket every 10 seconds to get fresh data.

UI Code: https://github.com/cityofasheville/wheres-parking (its served from the gh-pages branch)

Where's Parking site: http://cityofasheville.github.io/wheres-parking/

AWS S3 bucket: https://s3.amazonaws.com/avl-parking-decks/spaces.json

It’s embedded in the City’s website here: http://www.ashevillenc.gov/Departments/ParkingServices/FindParking.aspx
