gbfs2osm is a python command line interface (CLI) tool that reads a General Bikeshare Feed Specification (GBFS) endpoint and converts it to a .osm file. It was created to make importing data from bikeshare services into OpenStreetMap easier.

Before using, make sure to read the Automated Edits code of conduct and the Import Guidelines.

Features

• Creates a amenity=bicycle_rental tag for each station
• Includes these tags automatically:
  • bicycle_rental=docking_station
  • name=* using the station name
  • capacity=*
  • ref:gbfs={system_id}:{station_id}
  • network=*
  • brand=*
  • operator=*
  • operator:phone=*
  • operator:website=*
  • network:wikidata=*
  • operator:wikidata=*
  • fee=yes
  • payment:credit_cards=yes if "CREDITCARD" is in "rental_methods" in the GBFS feed
  • payment:app=yes if "PHONE" is in "rental_methods" in the GBFS feed
• Supports by default editing existing amenity=bicycle_rental if it is in a 20 meters radius of the GBFS station coordinates.
  • Outputs a warning if multiple bikeshare stations are found in OSM near the same location. This is helpful for spotting duplicated amenity=bicycle_rental nodes.
  • By default, only overwrites capacity=* and ref:gbfs=* tags if other are present, but this can be configured and any field can be overridden if needed.
