The list shows networks, not stations
The /v2/networks route returns a collection of bike-share networks. An item can include id, name, location, href, and company. location groups a network’s reference city, country, latitude, and longitude; it is not the position of each bicycle or a station’s current availability.
- Use id to select one network in the next request.
- Read company as the organisation named by the source; more than one can appear.
- Do not present a network location as an exact pickup point.
How to reach a network’s stations
The href field points to a network route such as /v2/networks/{id}. There the documentation shows stations with name, coordinates, timestamp, free_bikes, and empty_slots when those data are available. Query the chosen network instead of trying to infer vacancies from the global list.
- Use a network route to show availability for one specific city.
- Check timestamp before treating bikes or spaces as current.
- Some fields vary with the originating system.
Mobility data need context
CityBikes is a query layer for the PyBikes project and asks for clear attribution with a link when its data are displayed in another project. The list is useful for exploring coverage and integrating a map, but it does not replace use rules, pricing, registration, maintenance, or confirmation from the local operator.
- Keep a visible CityBikes link when reusing the data.
- Open the source or operator before recommending a service to a user.
- Treat the response as a point-in-time lookup, not a promise that a bike is available.
