Bat Tracker - MongoDB Atlas Hackathon Submission
Overview of My Submission
TRACK BAT LOCATION MOVEMENTS OVER TIME
Movebank, is a public database, where scientists track animal movements by attaching a GPS device to the animal. Based on a certain frequencies, that data is recorded by the device and stored in the database.
There is a public API which gets this data, so developers can use it in various projects.
My idea for this was to:
- Get European free-tailed bat tracking data from Movebank's API.
- Store that data in MongoDB.
- Convert it to Time Series data.
- Display that data on a Map to track their movement history.
Unfortunately, I saw this Hackathon only a few days before the due date and did not have enough time to complete my idea. But I am submitting it as is. I may want to complete it in the future.
What I completed:
- ✅ Get European free-trailed bat tracking data from Movebank's API
- ✅ Store that data in MongoDB.
- ⛔ Convert it to Time Series data.
- ⛔ Display that data on a Map to track their movement history.
