# EV Charging Stations in Los Angeles: Live PlugShare Data

**Use case:** 

EV charging stations in Los Angeles, pulled live from PlugShare with address, GPS, connector types, network, and PlugScore for each location. This example searches a 25 km radius around downtown Los Angeles, giving drivers, fleet planners, and site-selection teams a ready dataset of nearby chargers instead of browsing the PlugShare map by hand.

## Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [],
  "searchAreas": [
    {
      "latitude": 34.0522,
      "longitude": -118.2437,
      "radiusKm": 25,
      "label": "Los Angeles, CA"
    }
  ],
  "maxItemsPerArea": 8,
  "maxResults": 0,
  "connectorTypes": [],
  "fastChargersOnly": false,
  "minKilowatts": 0,
  "minPlugScore": 0,
  "availableNowOnly": false,

  "excludeComingSoon": false,
  "networkIncludes": [],
  "networkExcludes": [],
  "includeDetails": true,
  "includeReviews": false,
  "onlyNewOrChanged": false,
  "requestDelayMs": 300,
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [PlugShare Scraper: EV Charging Station Data, Pricing & Alerts](https://apify.com/getascraper/plugshare-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/getascraper/plugshare-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
