LMEC Map Warper data to Allmaps

This repository contains scripts that convert data from the Map Warper instance at the Leventhal Map & Education Center at the Boston Public Library (LMEC) to the Allmaps API format.

Source data:

• LMEC's Map Warper ground control points (GCPs)

Conversion:

npm install
npm run gcps
npm run manifests

Resulting files:

• maps.ndjson
• manifests.ndjson

These files can be uploaded to the Allmaps API using the following commands. To run them, first install HTTPie and jq.

jq -s < ./data/manifests.ndjson | http POST http://dev.api.allmaps.org/maps
jq -s < ./data/manifests.ndjson | http POST http://dev.api.allmaps.org/manifests
