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:

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

bash

./scripts/parking-finder.sh '{"query": "parking near Dodger Stadium", "radius": 2000}'

Parking near an airport

bash

./scripts/parking-finder.sh '{"query": "long term parking near SFO airport", "radius": 3000}'

Parking in a downtown area

bash

./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-route skill to get walking directions from parking to your destination
• Combine with the camino-relationship skill to compare distances between multiple parking options
• Specify "parking garages" or "street parking" in the query for more targeted results
