Get a acces to "GBFS validator API" ? about gbfs-validator

[josee-sabourin]

Hi Alban,

Thanks for reaching out! You can absolutely use the API, just note that it is not 100% production ready and may break. We also only have a limited number of requests available (125k/month). How often do you plan on requesting per day? We would ask that you include a user email in the header like so: User-Agent: <email_address>. There are no explicit permissions required on our end to give you access to the API, you should just be able to use it. Here is an example of how to use it with a curl command:

curl --location 'https://gbfs-validator.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/validator' \
--header 'accept: */*' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "url": "https://dubai.publicbikesystem.net/customer/gbfs/v2/gbfs.json",
    "options": {
        "freefloating": false,
        "docked": false,
        "version": null,
        "auth": {
            "type": null,
            "basicAuth": {
                "user": null,
                "password": null
            },
            "bearerToken": {
                "token": null
            },
            "oauthClientCredentialsGrant": {
                "user": null,
                "password": null,
                "tokenUrl": null
            }
        }
    }
}'

Long term, we are planning to move the validator to something a more stable platform requiring API tokens in order to properly scale the tool.

Hello @josee-sabourin,
Thanks for your answer. About the number of requests, it is not great, less 1k/month and not all months in the year.
I will test your solution and I will come back to you. Thanks again.
