CityBikes Scraper collects real-time bike-sharing data from over 700 networks worldwide. Each station record includes the network name, operator company, city, country, GPS coordinates, street address, free bikes, empty slots, e-bike counts, and timestamp of the last update. You can filter by a specific network ID, country code, or city name to get exactly the data you need.

Urban planners use this to study station utilization patterns. Mobility startups pull it to research existing networks before launching in a new city. App developers feed the data into availability features. Researchers snapshot it hourly to build time-series datasets on micro-mobility trends. If you need structured bike-sharing data from Citi Bike, Velib, Santander Cycles, or any other system, this actor delivers it in seconds.

Target	CityBikes (700+ bike-sharing networks)

📋 What it does

• 🌍 Global coverage. Access data from over 700 bike-sharing systems across 60+ countries on every continent.
• 📍 GPS station locations. Get latitude, longitude, and street address for every docking station.
• 🚴 Live availability. Real-time counts of free bikes, empty slots, and total capacity per station.
• ⚡ E-bike breakdown. Separate tallies for electric and standard bikes where the network publishes them.
• 🔍 Flexible filtering. Query by network ID, country code, or city name to narrow your results.

Each record gives you a complete snapshot of one station: which network it belongs to, who operates it, where it sits on the map, and how many bikes and slots are available right now.

💡 Why it matters: Checking bike availability across multiple cities means visiting dozens of separate dashboards. This actor pulls everything into one dataset with a consistent schema, saving hours of manual collection.

Each record includes: address, city, company, country, ebikes, emptySlots, freeBikes, latitude, longitude, networkId, networkName, normalBikes, scrapedAt, stationId, stationName, timestamp, totalEmptySlots, totalFreeBikes, totalSlots, totalStations.
