Unable to validate Link Granada

[josee-sabourin]

Error when validating https://mds.linkyour.city/gbfs/es_granada/gbfs.json. "Sorry, this version is not yet implemented or not detectable !", even when specifying the version, same error message.

They block the default Got User-Agent

curl -I -H 'User-Agent: got (https://github.com/sindresorhus/got)' https://mds.linkyour.city/gbfs/es_granada/gbfs.json

return 500 But

curl -I https://mds.linkyour.city/gbfs/es_granada/gbfs.json

Works

We could change our user-agent to allow us to be properly identified (eg: gbfs-validator (https://github.com/MobilityData/gbfs-validator)) It is not bullet proof. They can still block it.

@ezmckinn can you provide any insight here? Would Superpedestrian prefer a more identifiable user-agent?

Hi @josee-sabourin and @richfab — thanks for raising this. I actually have struggled to use the GBFS validator in the past, for our own spot-checking, so we'll be glad to work on this. I will file a bug ticket internally and provide on updates on this thread as the fix is processed.

Hi @ezmckinn, Do you have an update on the internal bug ticket? We're happy to provide support if Superpedestrian sees value in using the GBFS validator on its feeds. Thanks

For consistency between MobilityData validators, let's use a similar pattern described here. In this case user agent should be: User-Agent: MobilityData GBFS-Validator/{VALIDATOR_VERSION} ({NODE_VERSION})
