python-citybikes
python-citybikes is a python client for the Citybikes API.
About Citybikes
Citybikes is a project about making bike sharing data available to both users and developers. It has a nice and easy to use API, but this package might be useful to projects consuming the API.
python-citybikes must not be confused with pybikes:
- pybikes is a set of tools to access bike sharing data directly from the providers. It's the library powering the project and the API. If a network is not supported or does not correctly work, it's there where the issue or the contribution must be sent.
- python-citybikes is a python wrapper around the Citybikes API.
Installation
$ pip install python-citybikesUsage
First instantiate a client
>>>> import citybikes
>>>> client = citybikes.Client()Get the full list of networks
>>>> networks = list(client.networks)
>>>> len(networks)
