The Provider API endpoints are intended to be implemented by mobility providers and consumed by regulatory agencies. When a municipality queries information from a mobility provider, the Provider API has a historical view of operations in a standard format.
This specification contains a data standard for mobility as a service providers to define a RESTful API for municipalities to access on-demand.
The following information applies to all provider
API endpoints. Details on providing authorization to endpoints is specified in the auth document.
This specification uses data types including timestamps, UUIDs, and vehicle state definitions as described in the MDS General Information document.
provider
APIs must handle requests for specific versions of the specification from clients.
Versioning must be implemented as specified in the Versioning section.
MDS is intended to be used for multiple transportation modes, including its original micromobility (e-scooters, bikes, etc.) as well as additional modes such as taxis and delivery bots. A given provider_id
shall be associated with a single mobility mode, so that the mode does not have to be specified in each data structure and API call. A provider implementing more than one mode shall register a provider_id
for each mode.
The response to a client request must include a valid HTTP status code defined in the IANA HTTP Status Code Registry.
See Responses for information on valid MDS response codes and Error Messages for information on formatting error messages.
The response must set the Content-Type
header as specified in the Versioning section.
Response bodies must be a UTF-8
encoded JSON object and must minimally include the MDS version
and a data
payload:
{
"version": "x.y.z",
"data": {
"trips": [{
"provider_id": "...",
"trip_id": "...",
}]
}
}
All response fields must use lower_case_with_underscores
.
MDS defines JSON Schema files for each endpoint.
provider
API responses must validate against their respective schema files. The schema files always take precedence over the language and examples in this and other supporting documentation meant for human consumption.
The /trips
and /status_changes
endpoints must not use pagination.
If Providers choose to use pagination for either of the /events
or /vehicles
endpoints, the pagination must comply with the JSON API specification.
The following keys must be used for pagination links:
first
: url to the first page of datalast
: url to the last page of dataprev
: url to the previous page of datanext
: url to the next page of data
At a minimum, paginated payloads must include a next
key, which must be set to null
to indicate the last page of data.
{
"version": "x.y.z",
"data": {
"trips": [{
"provider_id": "...",
"trip_id": "...",
}]
},
"links": {
"first": "https://...",
"last": "https://...",
"prev": "https://...",
"next": "https://..."
}
}
Municipalities requiring MDS Provider API compliance should provide an unambiguous digital source for the municipality boundary. This boundary must be used when determining which data each provider
API endpoint will include.
The boundary should be defined as a polygon or collection of polygons. The file defining the boundary should be provided in Shapefile or GeoJSON format and hosted online at a published address that all providers and provider
API consumers can access and download. The boundary description can be sent as a reference to an GeoJSON object or flat-file, if the agency is using Geography.
Providers are not required to recalculate the set of historical data that is included when the municipality boundary changes. All new data must use the updated municipality boundary.
Because of the unreliability of device clocks, the Provider is unlikely to know with total confidence what time an event occurred at. However, Providers are responsible for constructing as accurate a timeline as possible. Most importantly, the order of the timestamps for a particular device's events must reflect the Provider's best understanding of the order in which those events occurred.
For Timestamps, Vehicle Types, Propulsion Types, UUIDs, Costs, and Currencies, refer to the MDS General Information document.
A trip represents a journey taken by a mobility as a service customer with a geo-tagged start and stop point.
The trips endpoint allows a user to query historical trip data.
Unless stated otherwise by the municipality, the trips endpoint must return all trips with a route
which intersects with the municipality boundary.

The /trips
API should allow querying trips with the following query parameters:
Parameter | Format | Expected Output |
---|---|---|
end_time |
YYYY-MM-DDTHH , an ISO 8601 extended datetime representing an UTC hour between 00 and 23. |
All trips with an end time occurring within the hour. For example, requesting end_time=2019-10-01T07 returns all trips where 2019-10-01T07:00:00 <= trip.end_time < 2019-10-01T08:00:00 UTC. |
Without an end_time
query parameter, /trips
shall return a 400 Bad Request
error.
The API's response will depend on the hour queried and the status of data processing for that hour:
-
For hours that are not yet in the past the API shall return a
404 Not Found
response. -
For hours in which the provider was not operating the API shall return a
404 Not Found
response. -
For hours that are in the past but for which data is not yet available the API shall return a
102 Processing
response. -
For all other hours the API shall return a
200 OK
response with a fully populated body, even for hours that contain no trips to report. If the hour has no trips to report the response shall contain an empty array of trips:{ "version": "x.y.z", "data": { "trips": [] } }
For the near-ish real time use cases, please use the events endpoint.
To represent a route, MDS provider
APIs must create a GeoJSON FeatureCollection
, which includes every observed point in the route, even those which occur outside the municipality boundary.
Routes must include at least 2 points: the start point and end point. Routes must include all possible GPS or GNSS samples collected by a Provider. Providers may round the latitude and longitude to the level of precision representing the maximum accuracy of the specific measurement. For example, a-GPS is accurate to 5 decimal places, differential GPS is generally accurate to 6 decimal places. Providers may round those readings to the appropriate number for their systems.
Trips that start or end at a Stop must include a stop_id
property in the first (when starting) and last (when ending) Feature of the route
. See Stop-based Geographic Data for more information.

The status of the inventory of vehicles available for customer use.
The status changes endpoint allows a user to query the historical availability for a system within a time range.
Unless stated otherwise by the municipality, this endpoint must return only those status changes with a event_location
that intersects with the municipality boundary.
Note: As a result of this definition, consumers should query the trips endpoint to infer when vehicles enter or leave the municipality boundary.

The /status_changes
API should allow querying status changes with the following query parameters:
Parameter | Format | Expected Output |
---|---|---|
event_time |
YYYY-MM-DDTHH , an ISO 8601 extended datetime representing an UTC hour between 00 and 23. |
All status changes with an event time occurring within the hour. For example, requesting event_time=2019-10-01T07 returns all status changes where 2019-10-01T07:00:00 <= status_change.event_time < 2019-10-01T08:00:00 UTC. |
Without an event_time
query parameter, /status_changes
shall return a 400 Bad Request
error.
The API's response will depend on the hour queried and the status of data processing for that hour:
-
For hours that are not yet in the past the API shall return a
404 Not Found
response. -
For hours in which the provider was not operating the API shall return a
404 Not Found
response. -
For hours that are in the past but for which data is not yet available the API shall return a
102 Processing
response. -
For all other hours the API shall return a
200 OK
response with a fully populated body, even for hours that contain no status changes to report. If the hour has no status changes to report the response shall contain an empty array of status changes:{ "version": "x.y.z", "data": { "status_changes": [] } }
Reports are information that providers can send back to agencies containing aggregated data that is not contained within other MDS endpoints, like counts of special groups of riders. These supplemental reports are not a substitute for other MDS Provider endpoints.
The authenticated reports are monthly, historic flat files that may be pre-generated by the provider.
Endpoint: /reports
Method: GET
Beta feature: Yes (as of 1.1.0). Leave feedback
Schema: TBD when out of beta
data
Filename: monthly file named by year and month, e.g. /reports/YYYY-MM.csv
data
Payload: monthly CSV files with the following structure:
Column Name | Type | Comments |
---|---|---|
start_date |
date | Start date of trip the data row, ISO 8601 format, local timezone |
duration |
string | Value is always P1M for monthly. Based on ISO 8601 duration |
special_group_type |
Special Group Type | Type that applies to this row |
geography_id |
Geography | ID that applies to this row. Includes all IDs in /geography. When there is no /geography then return null for this value and return counts based on the entire operating area. |
vehicle_type |
Vehicle Type | Type that applies to this row |
trip_count |
integer | Count of trips taken for this row |
rider_count |
integer | Count of unique riders for this row |
Report contents include every combination of special group types, geography IDs, and vehicle types in operation for each month since the provider began operations in the jurisdiction. New files are added monthly in addition to the previous monthly historic files.
Counts are calculated based the agency's local time zone, and this time zone is returned within the StartDate
value. For months where there is a Daylight Saving Time change, use the timezone that is in the majority of the month. Note that StartDate is based on the moment the trip starts.
All geography IDs included in the city published Geography API endpoint are included in the report results. In lieu of serving an API, this can alternately be a flat file created by the city and sent to the provider via link. If there is no /geography
available, then counts are for the entire agency operating area, and null
is returned for each Geography ID.
For 3 months of provider operation in a city (September 2019 through November 2019) for 3 geographies, 2 vehicle types, and 1 special group. Timezone is Eastern Time in the US which is -4 from UTC before November 3, 2019, and -5 after. Values of -1
represent redacted data counts.

Here are the possible values for the special_group_type
dimension field:
Name | Description |
---|---|
low_income | Trips where a low income discount is applied by the provider, e.g., a discount from a qualified provider equity plan. |
all_riders | All riders from any group |
Other special group types may be added in future MDS releases as relevant agency and provider use cases are identified. When additional special group types or metrics are proposed, a thorough review of utility and relevance in program oversight, evaluation, and policy development should be done by OMF Working Groups, as well as any privacy implications by the OMF Privacy Committee.
Some combinations of parameters may return a small count of trips, which could increase a privacy risk of re-identification. To correct for that, Reports does not return data below a certain count of results. This data redaction is called k-anonymity, and the threshold is set at a k-value of 10. For more explanation of this methodology, see our Data Redaction Guidance document.
If the query returns fewer than 10
trips in a count, then that row's count value is returned as "-1". Note "0" values are also returned as "-1" since the goal is to group both low and no count values for privacy.
As Reports is in beta, this value may be adjusted in future releases and/or may become dynamic to account for specific categories of use cases and users. To improve the specification and to inform future guidance, beta users are encouraged to share their feedback and questions about k-values on this discussion thread.
Using k-anonymity will reduce, but not necessarily eliminate the risk that an individual could be re-identified in a dataset, and this data should still be treated as sensitive. This is just one part of good privacy protection practices, which you can read more about in our MDS Privacy Guide for Cities.
All MDS compatible provider
APIs must expose a public GBFS feed as well. Compatibility with GBFS 2.0 or greater is advised due to privacy concerns and support for micromobility.
GBFS 2.0 includes some changes that may make it less useful for regulatory purposes (specifically, the automatic rotation of vehicle IDs). The /vehicles
endpoint offers an alternative to GBFS that may more effectively meet the use cases of regulators. See our MDS Vehicles Guide for how this compares to GBFS /free_bike_status
. Additional information on MDS and GBFS can be found in this guidance document.
The data returned by a near-realtime endpoint should be as close to realtime as possible, but in no case should it be more than 5 minutes out-of-date. Near-realtime endpoints must contain last_updated
and ttl
properties in the top-level of the response body. These properties are defined as:
Field Name | Required | Defines |
---|---|---|
last_updated | Yes | Timestamp indicating the last time the data in this feed was updated |
ttl | Yes | Integer representing the number of milliseconds before the data in this feed will be updated again (0 if the data should always be refreshed). |
The /events
endpoint is a near-realtime feed of status changes, designed to give access to as recent as possible series of events.
The /events
endpoint functions similarly to /status_changes
, but shall not include data older than 2 weeks (that should live in /status_changes.
)
Unless stated otherwise by the municipality, this endpoint must return only those events with an event_location
that intersects with the municipality boundary.
Note: As a result of this definition, consumers should query the trips endpoint to infer when vehicles enter or leave the municipality boundary.
See also Stop-based Geographic Data.
The schema and datatypes are the same as those defined for /status_changes
.
Endpoint: /events
Method: GET
Beta feature: No (as of 1.0.0)
Schema: events

data
Payload: { "status_changes": [] }

timestamp | status changes where start_time <= status_change.event_time |
end_time |
timestamp | status changes where status_change.event_time < end_time |
Should either side of the requested time range be missing, /events
shall return a 400 Bad Request
error.
Should either side of the requested time range be greater than 2 weeks before the time of the request, /events
shall return a 400 Bad Request
error.
Stop information should be updated on a near-realtime basis by providers who operate docked mobility devices in a given municipality.
In addition to the standard Provider payload wrapper, responses from this endpoint should contain the last update timestamp and amount of time until the next update in accordance with the Data Latency Requirements:
{
"version": "x.y.z",
"data": {
"stops": []
},
"last_updated": "12345",
"ttl": "12345"
}
Endpoint: /stops/:stop_id
Method: GET
Beta feature: Yes (as of 1.0.0). Leave feedback
Schema: stops
schema
data
Payload: { "stops": [] }
, an array of Stops
In the case that a stop_id
query parameter is specified, the stops
array returned will only have one entry. In the case that no stop_id
query parameter is specified, all stops will be returned.
The /vehicles
is a near-realtime endpoint and returns the current status of vehicles in an agency's Jurisdiction and/or area of agency responsibility. All vehicles that are currently in any vehicle_state
should be returned in this payload. Since all states are returned, care should be taken to filter out states not in the PROW if doing vehicle counts. For the states elsewhere
and removed
which include vehicles not in the PROW but provide some operational clarity for agencies, these must only persist in the feed for 90 minutes before being removed.
Data in this endpoint should reconcile with data from the historic /status_changes
enpdoint, though /status_changes
is the source of truth if there are discrepancies.
As with other MDS APIs, /vehicles
is intended for use by regulators, not by the general public. /vehicles
can be deployed by providers as a standalone MDS endpoint for agencies without requiring the use of other endpoints, due to the modularity of MDS. See our MDS Vehicles Guide for how this compares to GBFS /free_bike_status
. Note that using authenticated /vehicles
does not replace the role of a public GBFS feed in enabling consumer-facing applications. If a provider is using both /vehicles
and GBFS endpoints, the /vehicles
endpoint should be considered source of truth regarding an agency's compliance checks.
In addition to the standard Provider payload wrapper, responses from this endpoint should contain the last update timestamp and amount of time until the next update in accordance with the Data Latency Requirements:
