I'm not sure what you mean by "integration" exactly but please
don't try and use the openstreetmap.org API to fetch lists of
charging points in real time - that is most definitely not an
appropriate use.

The API is for editing and consumers of the data should either
maintain their own database updated using the replication feeds
or use a query orientated service like overpass.
