## Response

Successful output is returned in `results[0].data`.

Raw platform output is intentionally open-ended and may evolve with the upstream source.

### Illustrative sample output

### Illustrative output fields

Derived from the sample above for orientation only. These fields are not a fixed response schema.

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `address` | `string` | 355 Somerset Street |
| `availability` | `string` | available |
| `event_id` | `integer` | 1292136 |
| `facility_id` | `integer` | 102979 |
| `facility_type` | `string` | garage |
| `lat` | `number` | 40.739937 |
| `lon` | `number` | -74.156181 |
| `lot` | `string` |  |
| `scraped_at` | `string` | 2026-08-30T12:44:34Z |
| `sh_base` | `integer` | 60 |
| `sh_total` | `number` | 65.1 |
| `start_time` | `string` | 2026-08-22T18:30:00-04:00 |
| `url` | `string` | https://spothero.com/checkout/102979 |
| `walking_meters` | `integer` | 1447 |
| `walking_seconds` | `integer` | 1186 |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
