JCDecaux connector

The JCDecaux connector retrieves the state of JCDecaux bicycle stations. It creates a dataset with records containing bicycle stations data.

The JCDecaux Bike Stations dataset is available on the Opendatasoft data network. You can federate it to use the data.

Using the JCDecaux connector, you can retrieve two types of data:

• JCDecaux Bicycle Stations Data provides dynamic real-time data (no historical data), including station state, number of available bikes, number of free bike stands, etc.

• JCDecaux Bicycle Stations provides static and stable data, including station position, number of bike stands, payment terminal availability, etc.

This connector is not available by default. Please contact Opendatasoft for the activation of this connector on a given Opendatasoft domain.

Before you begin, retrieve your API key from JCDecaux's developer website.
