Daten

nextbike

Nextbike's Live API contains all important information about the location and status of individual bikes in the city area. The timestamp can be used to calculate standing times, and anonymized analyses of user behavior can be retrieved. Nextbike bases its API on the GBFS standard.

How to create sustainable added value for your city with this data

Integration of the data into local mobility offers

By transmitting live data from Nextbike, the locations of sharing bikes can be displayed in real-time in third party applications operated by the city. Clever integration of this information into applications such as mobility apps, can help increase bike usage - and help achieve sustainable mobility goals.

Analysis of historicized data for urban planning

Live data from sharing providers can be stored and analyzed. By analyzing hot spots, usage behavior or standing time, important conclusions can be drawn about the needs of citizens. These findings can be used to expand the infrastructure and the offer in a targeted manner and thus support the transition to a new mobility system.

Costs when purchasing via the DKSR platform

What are the costs of connecting the data to the city's Open Urban Data Platform (OUP)?

The connector is already available. If the connector can be used directly in the existing configuration, the cost amounts to 2950 €.

How does the connection process work? Is there anything to consider?

Especially in larger cities, there are often many vehicles in use. Due to the large number of vehicles, a very small query interval (Smaller 5 minutes) can drive up cloud costs significantly.

Until now, cities did not have to pay for the data, Nextbike released it for free.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT THIS DATA

The API only sends the anonymized information. In addition, only the location in the " parked " state is sent - no exact routes driven can be retrieved from the API.

Nextbike vehicles must regularly send their position and status to the Nextbike server in order to enable bike sharing. DKSR's API uses exactly this data, which is a "by-product" of Nextbike's actual work.

The API from Nextbike to GBFS does not contain any personal information. The GDPR is already ensured before the data is released via API.
