A General Bikeshare Feed Specification dataset validator
The Canonical GBFS Validator is a tool to check the conformity of a GBFS feed against the official specification. It validates feeds up to GBFS version 2.3-RC. This tool is built using the JSON Schemas, and the site is powered by Netlify.
The schemas on versions/schemas
is a git subtree of https://github.com/MobilityData/gbfs-json-schema. See README.md on versions
for more details

The validator is developed to be used “online” (hosted with a lambda function).

- Enter the feed’s auto-discovery URL
- If needed, select the version. If not specified, the validator will pick the version mentioned in the
gbfs.json
file - Select file requirement options (free-floating or docked)
- Click the “Valid me” button, and see the validation results below
