Development of pyGeodashboard started on 2016-02-04. It is a library that contains the basic functions needed for parsing sensors, streams, and datapoints to the geostreaming API.
- Step 1: Outline Parser Functions
- Create a outline that describes the process of parsing with focus on separating reusable portions of a parser from those that are particular to a specific data source.
Outline Parser Functions
- Get data from source
- Parsing begins by getting the data from the source. Two types of data are needed:
- data that describes the site such as geocodes, name, and source.
- measurements
- The format and retrieval method varies from source to source
- Some source formats
- API for a single station (USGS,NOAA)
- API for mixed stations (Water Quality Portal)
- Files stored to server with loggetnet (GREON)
- csv download (LRTM)
- Some source formats
- Parsing begins by getting the data from the source. Two types of data are needed:
- Parse data to sensor
- Up till now, this has been a unique process for each source; however, this portion...
