Logging and analyzing the flow of bird scooters in cottbus

Usage

run

python3 bird_api.py -m yourmail@address.com

this will create access and refresh tokens. After that you can use:

pyhton3 bird_api.py

for requesting and saving Cottbus based bird scooter locations and metadata to database/output_timestamp.json

Explaination:

all explained here in detail https://github.com/ubahnverleih/WoBike/blob/master/Bird.md

Quick and dirty:

get one time validation token

• bird_api.get_validate_token(youremail)

• the mail should be already registered with bird (at least it did not work to use some disposable mailaddress directly. I was not allowed to create a new account via api)

use the validationtoken from your inbox to get an access_token and a refresh_token

• bird_api.use_magiclink(validationtoken)
• the access_token is only valid for 1 day and can be refreshed with the refresh_token

use the access_token to request the locations

• bird_api.get_locations(lat,lon,radius,access_token)

refresh tokens when accesstoken is expired

• update_accesstoken(refresh_token)
