Lime

Lime is a San Francisco–based shared electric vehicle company that operates e-scooters and e-bikes across more than 280 cities in 30+ countries. Riders unlock and pay for vehicles through the Lime mobile app; cities and transit agencies receive operational data via standardized public feeds. Lime publishes per-city public GBFS (General Bikeshare Feed Specification) 2.2 feeds covering system information, station information, station status, free (dockless) bike status, and vehicle types under the Lime Public GBFS Terms. Lime also publishes MDS Extensions on GitHub — an open-source aggregation layer that sits on top of the MDS Provider standard for sharing k-anonymized operational data with regulators. There is no public, commercially licensable rider/booking API; the rider-facing endpoints at web-production.lime.bike are private to the Lime app. Integrations with trip-planning surfaces (Google Maps, Uber, Moovit, Citymapper) and city permit dashboards are delivered through the GBFS and MDS feeds.

Lime publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Free Bike Status API, Gbfs.json API, Station Information API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Shared Mobility, Micromobility, Electric Scooters, Electric Bikes, and E-Bikes.

Lime’s developer surface includes support and 18 more developer resources.
