Efforts by some freeCodeCamp students focused on representing data about city groups (formerly campsites) as a collective project started at the Gitter's Data Science Room.
- This sub-folder includes visualizations (2D and 3D), scrapers to mine platforms such as Facebook, GoogleMaps or relevant urls, and some analytics.
- Technologies include D3.js, THREE.js, node.js.
- In some cases data became deprecated or not existent; an example is the freeCodeCamp project known as the Wiki, which was target of one of the scrapers when residing in Github, but changed substantially after moving to the freeCodeCamp forum.
A 3D representation of fCC City Groups
Dataset: user_locations.json (json file with a list of coordenates and a proportion of users calculated based on undeclared source, data points by position)
A nodejs scraper designed to extract information about City Groups from a now unexisting fCC Wiki at Github
A nodejs scraper designed to extract information about City Groups from Facebook, getting the Facebook links from the Forum and then using GoogleMaps API to locate the City Group
The scraper:
- Made a scrap on Forum,
forum.freecodecamp.com/t/freecodecamp-city-based-local-groupsto get the list of City Groups - Queried Facebook Graph for some data about City Groups
- Using the Forum data, determined city and country and reversely tried to get coordinates
