Dude, this is fantastic. Thank you. This is my biggest annoyance because I don't have reception in the elevator and I always only remember to check the bikes when I'm there.

For the SF Bay Area, the relevant endpoints are:

https://gbfs.lyft.com/gbfs/2.3/bay/en/station_information.js...

and

https://gbfs.lyft.com/gbfs/2.3/bay/en/station_status.json

With this I can build myself a little display that does the same. It does seem to match with the app, but in a tragic twist of fate it appears that the station closest to me has been delisted on the app. Oh fate! What the right hand giveth, the left hand takes!

EDIT: Funny that these days no one puts their RSS feed link somewhere visible. Fortunately, most clients do find it on the page quite easily. I wonder how they do. It's not in the HTML source.

It’s probably worth posting [1] which shows many cities around the world.

Also there’s an aging HomeAssistant add-on [2] that lets you visualize stations and stats. But since HA now insists the addon is separate from an API and there’s no separate API (really, it’s trivial) things like electric bike or trailer counts are not exposed.

Haha, I wrote almost exact same app, just in Python (flask)
