Data Sources 📊

Metro Stations / Bus Stops

For the metro stations and bus stops, we use the public Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) API, at https://developer.tmb.cat/.

The App Key and App ID are passed through the node's process.env.TMB_API_APP_KEY and process.env.TMB_API_APP_ID and the credentials can be obtained if you log and register an app to the portal.

Bike Stations

For the bike stations, we use the BSMSA API for smou/bicing. The endpoints are:
