pybikes provides a set of tools to scrape bike sharing data from different

websites and APIs, thus providing a coherent and generalized set of classes

and methods to access this sort of information.



The library is distributed and intended mainly for statistics and data

sharing projects. More importantly, it powers the [CityBikes][1] project, and

is composed of a set of classes and a pack of data files that provide instances

for all different systems.



Installation

------------



Install directly from GitHub:

```bash

pip install git+https://github.com/eskerda/pybikes.git

```



Or after downloading/cloning the source:

```bash

python setup.py install

```



The following dependencies are required (example using Ubuntu package manager):

```

sudo apt-get install python

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libgeos-dev

```



Usage

-----

```python

>>> import pybikes



# Capital BikeShare instantiation data is in bixi.json file

>>> capital_bikeshare = pybikes.get('capital-bikeshare')



# The instance contains all possible metadata regarding this system

>>> print(capital_bikeshare.meta)

{

    'name': 'Capital BikeShare',

    'city': 'Washington, DC - Arlington, VA',

    'longitude': -77.0363658,

    'system': 'Bixi',

    'company': ['PBSC'],

    'country': 'USA',

    'latitude': 38.8951118

}

# The update method retrieves the list of stations

>>> print(len(capital_bikeshare.stations))

0

>>> capital_bikeshare.update()

>>> print(len(capital_bikeshare.stations))

191

>>> print(capital_bikeshare.stations[0])

--- 31000 - 20th & Bell St ---

bikes: 7

free: 4

latlng: 38.8561,-77.0512

extra: {

    'installed': True,

    'uid': 1,

    'locked': False,

    'removalDate': '',

    'installDate': '1316059200000',

    'terminalName': '31000',

    'temporary': False,

    'name': '20th & Bell St',

    'latestUpdateTime': '1353454305589'

}

```



Some systems might require an API key to work (for instance, Cyclocity). In

these cases, the instance factory can take an extra API key parameter.



```python

>>> key = "This is not an API key"

>>> dublinbikes = pybikes.get('dublinbikes', key)

```



Note that pybikes works as an instance factory and, choicely, instances can be

generated by passing the right arguments to the desired class



```python

>>> from pybikes.cyclocity import BixiSystem

>>> capital_bikeshare = BixiSystem(

        tag = 'foo_tag',

        root_url = 'http://capitalbikeshare.com/data/stations/',

        meta = {'foo':'bar'}

    )

```



The way information is retrieved can be tweaked using the PyBikesScraper class

included on the utils module thus allowing session reusing and niceties such as

using a proxy. This class uses [Requests][2] module internally.



```python

>>> scraper = pybikes.utils.PyBikesScraper()

>>> scraper.enableProxy()

>>> scraper.setProxies({

        "http" : "127.0.0.1:8118",

        "https": "127.0.0.1:8118"

    })

>>> scraper.setUserAgent("Walrus™ v3.0")

>>> scraper.headers['Foo'] = 'bar'

>>> capital_bikeshare.update(scraper)

```

Tests

-----

Tests are separated between unit tests and integration tests with the different

sources supported.



To run unit tests simply



```bash

make test

```



To run integration tests



```bash

make test-update

```



Note that some systems require authorization keys, tests expect these to be

set as environment variables like:



```bash

PYBIKES_CYCLOCITY='some-api-key'

PYBIKES_DEUTSCHEBAHN_CLIENT_ID='some-client-id'

PYBIKES_DEUTSCHEBAHN_CLIENT_SECRET='some-client-secret'



# or if using an .env file

# source .env



make test-update

```



This project uses pytest for tests. Test a particular network by passing a

filter expresson



```bash

pytest -k bicing

pytest -k gbfs

```



To speed up tests execution, install [pytest-xdist][3] to specify the number of

CPUs to use



```bash

pytest -k gbfs -n auto

```



To use Makefile steps and pass along pytest arguments, append to the `T_FLAGS`

variable



```bash

make test-update T_FLAGS+='-n 10 -k gbfs'

```



Integration tests can generate a json report file with all extracted data stored

as geojson. Using this json report file, further useful reports can be generated

like a summary of the overall health of the library or a map visualization of

all the information.



For more information on reports see [utils/README.md][4]
