FAQ

Questions CityBikes owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I find the specific ID for a bike network in my city?

    Use the list_networks capability. You can ask the agent to filter the results by city or country name to find the correct id (e.g., 'velib' for Paris or 'citibike-nyc' for New York).

  • 02

    Does the server show the exact number of available bikes at a station?

    Yes! By using the get_network capability with a specific network_id, the agent retrieves real-time station data, including the count of free bikes and empty docks.

  • 03

    Is the data updated in real-time?

    The data is fetched directly from the CityBikes API, which aggregates live feeds from various operators. The refresh rate depends on the individual bike-sharing provider's own API updates.
