Under the Open Data section, there are 2 sections: MDS Data, and GBSF.
The Mobility Data Specification (MDS Data) is a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) focused on helping cities interact with companies who operate dockless scooters, bikes, and more. The purpose of MDS Data is to provide a standardized way for municipalities to observe and compare data from mobility service providers so they can express regulations in a machine-readable format.
The General Bikeshare Specification Feed (GBSF) is an open data standard for bikeshare systems that makes real-time data feeds in a uniform format that is publicly available online in a uniform format so that map and transportation based apps such as this one can easily incorporate this data into their platforms.
For MDS, you'll need to generate an API key. To do this, select "Generate API Key". This will produce a string that will display as the "Basic Auth". You will need to provide the basic auth string as well as the URL (mds.movatic.co/)
