CityBikes

App · Travel & Places · 11 actions

Live public bike share data for about 800 schemes worldwide, from Vélib' in Paris to Citi Bike in New York, all through one API. Find the networks near a place, search them by city or operator, and read any station's bikes and free docks right now, including how many of the bikes are electric. Find the stations nearest a set of coordinates without knowing what the local scheme is called, locate dockless bikes and scooters parked loose, and add a whole network up into one availability figure for a scheduled check. No account or API key required.

Get availability summaryAdd a whole network up into one set of numbers: bikes available, docks free, how many stations are empty or full, how many vehicles are parked loose, and how fresh the data is.
List countriesList every country with at least one bike share network, with how many networks and how many cities each has.
List free-floating vehiclesList the bikes and scooters a network has parked away from any station, the dockless ones a rider can leave anywhere.

Find free-floating vehicles near a place

Find the dockless bikes and scooters closest to a point, nearest first, each with how far away it is. Leave the network blank and it searches the schemes nearest the point. No API key required.

The latitude that was searched from.
longitudenumber
The longitude that was searched from.

Find stations near a place

Find the docking stations closest to a point, nearest first, each with how far away it is and what is waiting there. Ask for a minimum number of bikes to find somewhere to pick one up, or a minimum number of free docks to find somewhere to leave one. Leave the network blank and it searches the schemes nearest the point, so a set of coordinates is all you need. No API key required.

Get a network

Get one network's details: who runs it, where it is, whether it has electric bikes, the licence its data is published under, together with its live availability totals. Turn the station list on to get every station in the same step. No API key required.

Inputs

Networknetwork_idtextRequired
The bike share network to read. Pick it from the list: every network CityBikes tracks is there, labelled with its city.
Include every stationinclude_stationstrue/false
Optional. Also return the full station list. Off by default: the totals below already cover the whole network, and a large city's station list is a megabyte of data to carry between steps. Use List stations when you want to filter or page them.Default: false.

Outputs

networkobject
One bike share network and everything CityBikes knows about it.
stationslist
Every station in the network. Empty unless the station list was asked for.
stations_includedtrue/false
True when the station list was asked for, so an empty list can be told from one that wasn't requested.
summaryobject
The whole network's availability right now, added up across every station. A count no station reports is null rather than 0.

Inputs

Networknetwork_idtextRequired
The bike share network to read. Pick it from the list: every network CityBikes tracks is there, labelled with its city.
Stationstation_idtextRequired
Which station. Use the id from List stations, or the operator's own id, the number printed on the station, or its exact name, whichever you have.

Outputs

Get availability summary

Add a whole network up into one set of numbers: bikes available, docks free, how many stations are empty or full, how many vehicles are parked loose, and how fresh the data is. Built for a scheduled check: alert when too many stations run empty, or chart availability over the day. No API key required.

Inputs

Networknetwork_idtextRequired
The bike share network to read. Pick it from the list: every network CityBikes tracks is there, labelled with its city.

Outputs

networkobject
One bike share network and everything CityBikes knows about it.
summaryobject
The whole network's availability right now, added up across every station. A count no station reports is null rather than 0.
