How to convert Cologne data

The data on farmers' markets provided by the City of Cologne is by itself not suitable to be used in the Wo ist Markt? project: Instead of GeoJSON, it is a CSV file with location info as street name strings.

The python script cologne_data/convert_data.py tries to geocode all CSV locations with the help of the Google Maps Geocoding API. The weekdays are converted into the OpenStreetMap opening hours format. Everything is saved to a GeoJSON file.

To use the script, you have to have Python 2.7 installed.

  1. Download the market data from Offene Daten Köln and put it in the cologne_data folder.

  2. Install Google Maps Services pip install -U googlemaps

  3. Get a Google Maps API Key and insert it into the line gmaps = googlemaps.Client(key='YOUR_API_KEY') in the script.

  4. Execute the script: python cologne_data/convert_data.py

  5. Manually replace all incorrect coordinates in the resulting köln.json

  6. Manually change all hours for those markets that are not open during standard hours. (Listed here)
