raccoon.bike is a website that shares live stats for Canadian public bikeshare systems. Data is updated every ~20 minutes.
Data is generated by tracking the GBFS feeds of available bikeshare systems. The tracking software records a trip occuring when a bike is removed from a station or a free floating bike becomes unavailable. For more information about how this works and how well the tracking matches the actual usage statistics, see this blog post.
I've also written a Python package bikeraccoon
that wraps the tracking API so you can query the tracker with a single line of Python. This website is built on the tracker->API->bikeraccoon
stack.
If a system isn't showing live data, it's probably because the feed from the bikeshare provider is down. When the feed returns, the page for that system should start working again.
