Parking Finder
Locate parking garages, lots, and street parking near your destination. Uses OpenStreetMap data with AI-powered ranking to find the most relevant parking options.
Setup
These skills shell out to curl and authenticate via the CAMINO_API_KEY environment variable. Sign up at https://app.getcamino.ai/skills/activate for 100 free calls/month and an API key.
Add your key to Claude Code:
Add to your ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"env": {
"CAMINO_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
Restart Claude Code.
Alternative — pay-per-request via x402: Camino's paid endpoints also accept HTTP 402 payments in USDC on Base ($0.001/request) from any x402-capable client, with no signup or API key. These skills don't use this path; it's for agents and clients that speak x402 natively.

Examples
Parking near a stadium
./scripts/parking-finder.sh '{"query": "parking near Dodger Stadium", "radius": 2000}'
Parking near an airport
./scripts/parking-finder.sh '{"query": "long term parking near SFO airport", "radius": 3000}'
Parking in a downtown area
./scripts/parking-finder.sh '{"lat": 41.8781, "lon": -87.6298, "radius": 800, "limit": 10}'
Best Practices
- Use a smaller radius (500-1000m) in dense urban areas where parking is nearby but hard to find
- Use a larger radius (2000-3000m) near stadiums, airports, or suburban destinations
- Include the venue name in your query for contextual results (e.g., "parking near Madison Square Garden")
- Combine with the
camino-routeskill to get walking directions from parking to your destination - Combine with the
camino-relationshipskill to compare distances between multiple parking options - Specify "parking garages" or "street parking" in the query for more targeted results
