Bike Sharing Services in Bicyclette.app

These are the various webservices Bicyclette uses to fetch its data.
For more general information, you can also take a look at the Bike-sharing World Map, the wikipedia List of bicycle sharing systems in the world, or the (french) Liste des systèmes de vélos en libre-service en France.

CityBike (aka Clear Channel) 1

The stations listing is only available on the webpage. The “official” webservices are less useful because they won’t give you the list of stations or the geolocation, so you have to rely on the webpage anyway.

• Caen
  • maps website: https://www.veol.caen.fr/localizaciones/localizaciones.php
  • Webservice “autorisé” (Seulement les status des stations, pas de liste, pas de geoloc) : http://213.139.124.75/V1_DispoStationCaen/DispoStation.asmx

• Perpignan :https://www.bip-perpignan.fr/localizaciones/localizaciones.php (no official webservice)
• Milano : http://www.bikemi.com/localizaciones/localizaciones.php (no official webservice)

CityBike (aka Clear Channel) 2

Way too dirty to scrape. A new webservice is being created with the other Bysykkel networks. (see above)

• Drammen (List+Details) : http://drammen.clearchannel.com/stationsmap

• calls through an xmlhttprequest :

  curl -X POST -H “Cache-Control: max-age=0” -H “Content-Length: 0” -H “Cookie: ASP.NET_SessionId=55i5wltwt2nj5llwwqxowj4t” -H “Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8” http://drammen.clearchannel.com/WS/GService.asmx/GetGoogleObject

CityBike (aka Clear Channel) 3

Way too dirty to scrape. Similar to Drammen, with an added step to get the station status.

• Mexico City :
  • List : https://www.ecobici.df.gob.mx/localizaciones/localizaciones.php
