The OPS-COM Controller provides a simple JSON based API to integrate with. Clients use this API to directly feed paid permit details into OPS-COM from other systems such as Parking Meters.  Any permit types whether Validator, Temporary or Standard can be feed to OPS-COM using this API


Make sure you set the HTTP Content-Type header to be application/json.
