Velib metropolis, Paris, France API
Overview
The Velib Metropolis API provides real-time open data for Paris's bike-sharing service, including station locations, bike availability, and dock counts. It follows the GBFS (General Bikeshare Feed Specification) standard, making it easy to integrate if you've worked with other bike-share APIs. No authentication is required, so you can start fetching live station data immediately.
Beginner Tip
Use the GBFS standard endpoint to get station status and information; the feed is updated every 10 seconds so it is great for real-time apps. Explore station_information.json and station_status.json feeds first to understand the data structure.
