allbikes API

allbikes is an API that provides live station information for Bixi-built Bike Share programs around the world.

Stations currently supported and their respective API reference codes (city code).

| Bike Share | City | city_id | | ----- | ------ |------ | | Aspen WE-cycle| Aspen, CO | ASE | | Barclay's Cycle Hire| London, UK| LHR | | Bay Area Bike Share| San Francisco, CA | SFO | | Bike Chattanooga | Chattanooga, TN | CHA | | Capital Bike Share| Washington, D.C.| DCA | | Citi Bike| New York City, NY | JFK | | CoGo | Columbus, OH | CMH | | Divvy | Chicago, IL | ORD | | Hubway | Boston, MA | BOS | | Melbourne Bike Share| Melbourne, Vic | MEL | | Montreal Bixi | Montreal, QC | YUL | | Nice Ride| Minneapolis, MN| MSP | | Ottawa Bixi| Ottawa, Ont| YOW | | Toronto Bixi|Toronto, Ont | YYZ |

goal

While every Bike Share program has a live JSON or XML feed, the data is presented differently thus making a universal bike share app difficult to create. This project aims to provide a easy-to-use solution for all bike-share data queries from around the world.
