API Reference

Base URL + Versioning

Dockless API calls described below can be made via the following semantically versioned endpoint:

https://dockless-data.austintexas.io/v1[/request]

Trips

---

Given an input geometry, the trips endpoint returns a GeoJSON FeatureCollection which contains dockless trip counts aggregated to hexagon cells.

• URL

  /trips

• Method:

  GET

• URL Params

  Required:

  xy=[lng1],[lat1],[lng2],[lat2]... a comma-separated string of latitude and longitude coordinates expressed as decimal degrees. The endpoint expects either one coordinate (a point: [lng1],[lat1]) or three or more coordinates (a polygon: [lng1],[lat1],[lng2],[lat2],[lng3],[lat3]...). Note: Line references and multipart polygons are not currently supported

  Example API point call:

  https://dockless-data.austintexas.io/v1/trips?xy=-97.743797,30.294499&start_time=1551280000&end_time=1551298973&mode=all&flow=origin

  Optional Trip Filters:

  mode=all The mode of transport. Either bicycle, scooter, or all (default).

  flow=origin Indicates if trips originated in the input geometry (origin) or terminated in the input geometry (destination).

  start_time A unix timestamp in millseconds which will select for trips that began at or after the given timestamp.

  end_time A unix timestamp in millseconds which will select for trips that ended before the given timestamp.

• Success Response:

  • Code: 200

  • Content: {...}

  • features: A GeoJSON (type: FeatureCollection), in which each feature is a hexagon grid cell with a single trips property whose value is the aggregated number of dockless trips which originated or terminated in the cell, given the requested mode and flow.

  • intersect_feature A GeoJSON (type: Polygon) representing the union of the hexagon grid cells which intersect with the requested input geometry.

  • total_trips: The total number of trips associated with the returned features.
