Is there any equivalent documentation for cars?

Is there anywhere something such as WoCar?

I don't know any project collecting carsharing APIs, but feel free to add Carsharing providers to this repo

I'm currently on flinkster's api (e.g. book-n-drive) and also had some code working against share-now's API (Car2go - Berlin, Frankfurt, ...) My motivation was to combine TIER (eScooter + eMopeds (50km/h)), together with share-now to evaluate how cost effective it can be to gain bonus miles/minutes by refueling cars/swapping low batteries. Both providers, TIER and ShareNow reward refueling vehicles at certain gas stations/shops that operate a battery charging station, respectively. Thus, the approach was to trade time (instead of jobbing for money) for future regular use of carsharing for free - and use an algorithm to search for optimal eMopeds to get from one Car to the next one and a gas station nearby to refuel.

Since my BahnCard100 expired, I no longer had been able to travel to Berlin and I paused the project. But I remember to at least managed to query data of ShareNow Cars like its position, fuel level, model/product class and so on without any problem. And there was some existing (at least one) project that already implemented a client for their API.

So I should be able to find the original software project I used and add some documentation about the API to this repo during the week
