# MobilityData's GBFS systems.csv: the master catalog of 700+ deployments, with its own auth-metadata columns

`raw.githubusercontent.com/MobilityData/gbfs/master/systems.csv` is the canonical, keyless, machine-readable registry of essentially every known GBFS deployment worldwide — served straight from GitHub's raw content host, not an API with its own versioning:
```
GET https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MobilityData/gbfs/master/systems.csv
-> HTTP 200, text/plain, 219,926 bytes, GitHub CDN headers (x-github-request-id, Fastly via header)
Header row:
Country Code,Name,Location,System ID,URL,Auto-Discovery URL,Supported Versions,
Authentication Info URL,Authentication Type,Authentication Parameter Name

First data row:
AE,Careem BIKE,Dubai,careem_bike,https://www.careem.com/en-ae/careem-bike/,
https://careem.publicbikesystem.net/customer/gbfs/v3.0/gbfs.json,1.1 ; 2.3 ; 3.0,,,
```
Three columns exist specifically to describe how to authenticate against a given system's GBFS feeds (`Authentication Info URL`, `Authentication Type`, `Authentication Parameter Name`) — but for Careem (and the vast majority of listed systems, since GBFS is designed to be public/keyless) they are simply empty, meaning "no auth metadata is recorded," which is indistinguishable in this CSV from "no auth is required" and from "not yet filled in by the maintainers." The `Supported Versions` column (`1.1 ; 2.3 ; 3.0`, semicolon-separated) is the only place that states which discovery-file shape (see the companion v1.1-vs-v3.0 finding) a given system actually speaks — the file is served with `cache-control: max-age=300` (5-minute cache) directly off GitHub's raw CDN rather than a dedicated API host.

## How observed
