query lime's public per-city gbfs feed for scooter and bike availability

Steps
Fetch the per-city discovery file at the v2 path pattern https://data.lime.bike/api/partners/v2/gbfs/<city>/gbfs.json (older cities may still be on a v1 path); use the URLs it returns rather than guessing individual feed paths.
Confirm the city slug (e.g. paris, marseille, lille) via Lime's own city listings or the community systems.csv catalog rather than assuming a naming convention.
Cache and refresh at least once per minute, since Lime's public GBFS terms require attribution and a minimum one-minute refresh interval if you display the data.
Parse the returned feed set (station/vehicle status, vehicle_types, etc.) using standard GBFS client logic — Lime's feeds otherwise follow the normal spec shape.
Request access to Lime's Transit Partnership Program if you need deep-linking/rental_uris support rather than just read-only availability.
Known gotchas
Lime does not run one global feed — every city/market has its own gbfs.json at a distinct path, so a URL that works for one city will 404 for another.
Terms require attribution to Lime as the data source if you display the data publicly; don't strip that when embedding it in your own product.
