Data structure

Stations structure

This module translate the json objects to python objects and returns it to the user, it doesn't unwraps it because I didn't want to modify the data.

The econduce's API returns data in the following json format, that's why you have to manually unwrap it with client.get_stations_status()["stations"]:

{
    "stations": [
        {
            "id": 448,
            "name": "448 DR. ANDRADE - ARCOS DE BELÉN",
            "address": "DR. ANDRADE ARCOS DE BELÉN",

Notes

• There's no need to refresh the token when it expires. The client does it automatically.
• Ecobici's API can return null values. It's up to you to verify that the value you want to access if defined.
• You can find more information about the API structure here: Spanish documentation.
