This project is deprecated as citybike vienna stopped operations
This projects provides an inofficial API to interact with the Citybike System in Vienna.
Check out the docs at: https://citybike-api.herokuapp.com/docs
Its goal is to provide a simple and usable interface for every action you can take on the official website (https://citybikewien.at/). It mostly works by parsing the website and mimicking real interaction on it. Which is why it is very slow. For the real time station info the official API is converted to JSON and served with a few utility functions. (such as search by id or coordinates)
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK Some actions require you to log in with your Citybike account (see below). While this application doesn't save your password, I take no responsibility for anything that might happen with your account.
In order to perform some actions you need to log into your Citybike account. The authentication is implemented so that the session key for the Citybike website is passed as a Bearer token in the HTTP Headers.
Be warned that you should never send your login info or session cookies to a third party site.
DON'T USE THIS API, unless you know the risks and trust me and the source code enough to not steal your data
I REPEAT, ABSOLUTELY DON'T SEND YOUR LOGIN INFO OR SESSION KEY
If you still want to use this API this is how to log in:
There are two possible ways to obtain a session token:
In your browser log into https://citybikewien.at/.
Go to the cookies and copy the content of the cookie that is named a3990c06031454fe8851126e4477ea83.
This is your Bearer token that needs to be passed to the API at every request that requires it.
There is the /account/token endpoint that takes your username and password and returns a session token.
