xyzspaces.datasets package

This package provides access to some public datasets used.

xyzspaces.datasets.get_countries_data()[source]

Pull countries example GeoJSON from the net or a locally cached file.

If this is not locally cached, yet, it will be after the first call, unless the file cannot be saved, in which case it will be re-downloaded again with every call.

Source (under http://unlicense.org): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johan/world.geo.json/master/countries.geo.json

The data contains 180 countries, and does not cover all existing countries, ca. 200. For example the Vatican is missing.

Returns

A JSON object.
