An API for the Divvy bike share API.
Divvy API API
Inspired by Tom MacWright, this is a very simple API to get information about the Divvy stations near you.
I proxy the real (unpublished) Divvy API and throw it into a KNN tree so you can make efficient nearby lookups based on a provided lat/lon. You can also filter results to only include stations with bikes or with available docks.
A sample application can be viewed at http://shrouded-beach-2183.herokuapp.com. This is also the API endpoint where the calls below can be directed.
/stations/nearby
Returns stations near a specified lat/lon pair as a GeoJSON document.
| Query Arg | Description |
|---|---|
lat |
required The latitude to search from. |
lon |
required The longitude to search from. |
prefer |
When not present, all stations are returned. When bikes, only stations with available bikes are returned. When docks, only stations with available docks are returned. |
max_stations |
The maximum number of stations to return. Default is 5. |
/stations/:id
Returns the specified station as a GeoJSON document.
