The long race home

Nerdy part

We'll be tracking 10 riders during a race across Belgium. The trackers are SPOT Trackers. The data sent by these trackers will be displayed live on the long race home website. This repository contains the following code:

• Data crawler: Python code to fetch the tracking data from the SPOT API.
• Website: HTML, CSS en JavaScript code to display the website and the CartoDB visualisation.

Note that this code will not work on its own. Additionally, you'll need:

• 3 CartoDB tables. One for storing the rider metadata, one where the data crawler can write the tracking data to, and one containing the checkpoints data
• A public CartoDB visualisation that can be injected in the Cartodbjs code.
• A Redis database and Celery worker for setting up the data crawler. (See data crawler documentation
