Superchargers.io is an open source GraphQL API for finding Tesla Superchargers, destination chargers

Superchargers.io

I'm a pretty huge Tesla fan and programmer, so I figured why not combine the two and create a resource for other Tesla fans and programmers alike. It's open source so you can learn from the code, contribute, or just create issues for things you'd like to see.

With Superchargers.io you can find:

• Locations that are opening soon
• Locations within a specific region or country
• Specific types of locations like superchargers, destination chargers, standard chargers, and service centers
• Locations that are within a specific geographical area using a bounding box

The company I work for has been heavily investing in GraphQL for our API and this was a opportunity to familiarize myself with it a bit more. If you're new to GraphQL or not sure what it is, I'd recommend playing around in the GraphiQL editor which provides a nice interface to help you discover fields and build queries.

Originally developed by Facebook, GraphQL is described as:

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.​

Let me know what you think and if there is anything you'd like to see.

If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

I tried this out and it just shows a blank white page with supercharger "pins" stuck in it. No map outline or anything else. Is this expected behavior?

Do you have a screenshot or query that I can use to reproduce it?

Thank you for sharing Veggen, which browser are you using? Looks like it may not support WebGL which Mapbox uses for the map. Could you check WebGL Report and report the Browser User Agent value if it does not pass?

 

[Veggen]

Map missing in Vivaldi and Firefox, although WebGL Report seems good:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.148 Safari/537.36 Vivaldi/1.4.589.38
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0

Map working OK in Edge:

I'm not a programmer so most of the above is lost on me.

So, I'll ask if you were aware of the existing www.SuperCharge.info website?
And as a potential user, how does your site differ or improve upon it?

It appears that superchargers.io is dead. Has it been officially killed?

Hi, is this info updated, I see the code is 4 years old. And where do you get the supercharger info from - do you scrape their servers?
Thank you!
