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:

1. Get European free-tailed bat tracking data from Movebank's API.
2. Store that data in MongoDB.
3. Convert it to Time Series data.
4. 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.
