MobilityData
Introduce a GBFS Validator API product offering
People have expressed the desire to use the GBFS Validator through an HTTP API (#53 #95 at least). At the moment it's possible but it's hidden and it's not a proper feature offered by MobilityData.
As discussed during the recent workshop in Valencia, Spain it would be great to:
- clarify that there is an API available
- define terms of services/restrictions/support/pricing (if applicable)
- write a documentation
- make sure HTTP responses are stable over time to avoid breaking integrations
We @ transport.data.gouv.fr rely on this hidden API every day at the moment and are more than happy to help you review these things.
Hello,
Yes, it's a good idea ! (as it's already used externaly ;) )
:information_source: If you don't know, we already expose an OpenAPI endpoint on https://gbfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/.netlify/functions/doc
If we want to offer a real API product, the current hosting on netlify may be limited ( .netlify on the path, timeout execution, max body size #109, etc)
