# How to connect Equinsa to Ronspot
## This guide provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for integrating the Equinsa Parking access control system with Ronspot.
---
The Ronspot–Equinsa integration provides a real-time access-control decision service that enables barriers, gates, or controlled entry points managed by Equinsa to validate whether a vehicle or cardholder is authorised to enter or exit a car park. In this architecture, Equinsa always acts as the initiating system. When a vehicle registration or card number is presented at a lane, the Equinsa controller sends a live request to Ronspot. Ronspot then evaluates the request against current booking data, user permissions and space availability, and returns an immediate authorisation decision.
In effect, Equinsa handles the on-site hardware and event detection, while Ronspot functions as the central authorisation engine. No data is pushed from Ronspot to Equinsa; all validation is performed at the moment of access, ensuring that any booking changes, cancellations, releases or updates are reflected instantly. This provides a secure, accurate and highly responsive method of controlling car park access based on Ronspot’s booking logic.
The endpoints described in this documentation allow Equinsa to submit registration or card-access queries and receive structured responses that determine whether access should be granted. This ensures seamless integration between the physical access equipment and Ronspot’s booking management platform.
### Prerequisites
Before setting up the integration, ensure you have:
- An active **Equinsa account and subscription**
- A **technical contact at Equinsa** who can configure API calls to Ronspot for booking validation
