RideDB

RideDB is a project that aggregates and organizes GBFS (General Bikeshare Feed Specification) data from various operators around the world. The data is structured by country and city, with city names normalized for easy access.

Accessing Operator Data

To access the list of operators for a specific city, use the following URL structure:

https://ifmon.github.io/RideDB/data/country_code/city/operators.json

Replace country_code and city with the appropriate normalized names. For example, to access operator data for Paris, France, you would use:

https://ifmon.github.io/RideDB/data/fr/paris/operators.json

Normalization of City Names

City names are normalized to ensure consistency and easy access. The normalization process involves:

• Replacing spaces with underscores (_).
• Replacing hyphens with underscores (_).
• Converting the entire name to lowercase.

For example:

• “New York” becomes new_york.
• “San Francisco” becomes san_francisco.

Data Structure

The data is organized in a hierarchical directory structure:

data/
  ├── country/
  │   ├── city/
  │   │   ├── operators.json
  │   │   └── ...
  │   └── ...
  └── ...
