Connect Quercus to KODE OS for parking data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect Quercus LPR and parking systems to KODE OS. You discover devices, poll status and sensor history, pair reservations and non-sensor data, and run configured API actions from the platform.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
- Collect Non-Sensor Data
- API Requests
Prerequisites
- An active account with Quercus and access to their API or developer portal
- API key or token from the Quercus platform
- KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources
Generate API Credentials
- Log in to the Quercus platform or admin console
- Navigate to the API settings, developer section, or account settings
- Generate a new API key or token
- Copy the key and store it securely — you will need it when configuring the connector in KODE OS
Configure Connector in KODE OS
- Navigate to Data Sources in your building
- Click API Catalog and search for Quercus
- Click + Add Datasource
- Fill in the fields below and complete the three-page setup flow
Discover Devices and Points
After configuring the connector, click Discover on the connector detail page. KODE OS will query the Quercus system and return a list of available devices and their data points. Review the discovered items and select the devices you want to register in KODE OS. For more details on the discovery process, see the Discovery guide.Devices and Points
When you discover devices from Quercus, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:Presence / Occupancy Sensor
Canonical Type:presenceDetection

Use Cases
Once connected, this integration enables you to:- Monitor real-time parking space availability across facilities
- Track occupancy trends to optimize parking allocation and signage
- Generate utilization reports for parking revenue and capacity planning
Troubleshooting
Authentication or connection error
Authentication or connection error
Verify that the credentials are correct and have not expired. Check that the URL is reachable from the KODE OS environment. Ensure the API key or token is valid and has not been revoked or expired in the Quercus platform.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Quercus system to list devices. Run a test connection first to confirm connectivity. Some systems require specific API scopes or roles for device enumeration.
Data collection stops or gaps appear
Data collection stops or gaps appear
Check the connector status on the Data Sources page. If the status shows an error, review the error logs on the connector detail page. Common causes include expired credentials, network changes, or rate limiting by the Quercus API.
