Exporting parking bookings and license plates is handy when you want to link Waldo to a License Plate Recognition system or third-party parking booking software. 🔗

There are two ways to export the data:

1. Via the Waldo portal, under the Metrics tab
2. Using the API (yep, we’ve got you covered – more on that below)

Prerequisites 📋

Make sure you’re all set by reviewing the prerequisites here: Waldo API prerequisites

Sample script 🧪

We’ve added a PowerShell sample script and a CSV template to get you started quickly.

1. Save the CSV file to your computer and replace the email addresses with those you want to check in.
2. Save and edit the PowerShell script on your computer.
3. Set your apiKey in the script. For example:

   $apiKey = 'CA+tyusuVrHIrqXvupPdDreydQP81//ZZAu6zcJ4h/g='

4. Replace tenantId with your own tenant ID. For example:

   $tenantId = 'g56d6a56-672c-412a-9a1d-a6979b7c559f'

   You can find this in the Waldo admin portal, under the API key tab.
5. Replace timezone with your timezone in IANA format. For example:

   $timezone = 'Europe/Paris'

6. Set the startDate and endDate to define the date range for your export. For example:

   $startDate = (Get-Date).ToString('2024-11-24T08:25:00')

7. Replace parkingID with the ID of the parking you want to target. You’ll find it in the Waldo admin portal, in the parking properties section.
   
   
8. All done? Run your PowerShell script and voilà 🚀
