@channel if there is anyone looking for a quick Data project, we could use some help on this today: https://github.com/hackforla/data-science/projects/2#card-60044906

Hey @bonnie. Good to meet you. I haven't contributed in quite some time but saw this and thought it'd be a fun quickie. I haven't personally touched APIs in a while (part of this is trying to get back in the code, overall), but are we sure that the Native-land.ca API is working? I keep getting 403 errors upon calling it. That's really the final step in what I just made.

@jude Calvillo yes it works, I tested it with Postman on my local machine yesterday and re-ran it just now. I would double check your headers if you're calling it from a script. 403 forbidden can also be a typo issue, maybe you've typed it wrong and the end point isn't public. (edited)

What are you using to make the call? If you have a python script I can take a quick look at it. I didn't see anything on Github (edited)

Jude Calvillo 4 months ago
@Albert Ulysses ok, I'll check again, but I used the path on the website, then tried multiple methods of adding the query, to no avail. I'm using R.

Albert Ulysses 4 months ago
can you send the error message?

Albert Ulysses 4 months ago
then also, send the endpoints - maybe I can test those

Jude Calvillo 4 months ago
I just used what's on the site/documentation. Example: https://native-land.ca/api/index.php?maps=territories&position=42.553080,-86.473389

Albert Ulysses 4 months ago
hmm can you send the error you're getting? I just copied that and it works.

Jude Calvillo 4 months ago
Yeah, when you go straight browser, it works. 403 error. I'm currently mobile, so can't get the full response right now but will send a little later this afternoon.

Albert Ulysses 4 months ago
I'm not using a browser, I'm using postman. I also tested it using curl on my terminal. I think the issue is in your headers. Probably isn't giving some information and the native-land api is denying anything that looks too much like a bot.

Jude Calvillo 4 months ago
Ok, I thought that might be a possibility, but what info would I need to add to header? -- Also, I REALLY gotta stop making my requests from the Ukraine. :-/

Albert Ulysses 4 months ago
oh. lol can't tell if that's joke, but yeah making api calls from outside of the US is problematic. I have someone on our team in Australlia and he can't do some of his scraping for us because he has an internatioal ip (edited)

Jude Calvillo 4 months ago
Oh, totally a joke. Sorry. 😁 I'll try experimenting with various header combos later today. Thanks again, @Albert Ulysses!

Albert Ulysses 4 months ago
sure no problem, if you still have problems with it later, I can possibly make the calls for you.

@Albert Ulysses, got it to work! Looks like I needed to add a user-agent header. 😕 -- Thanks. I'll wrap up and post later today. Have a good one!

cool, glad to hear

Jude Calvillo 4 months ago
Oh, can you or @bonnie confirm: For the project in question, are you only looking for which lands are being occupied, or are you looking for their geometry as well?

Albert Ulysses 4 months ago
I think there is a separate thread where she wrote what her expectations were. I'll @ you

Repo updated and ending w/resultant file for just lands and languages per zip. But I can create another dataset for geos, if necessary: https://github.com/judecalvillo/native-land-attribution

hey @jude Calvillo did you submit the project ?

Jude Calvillo 4 months ago
Oh, I don't know of the protocols, @Albert Ulysses, but if someone can point me in the right direction, I'd be happy to do what's required. I just saw the call for help and thought it'd be a great opportunity to reacquaint myself with hands on coding.

Albert Ulysses 4 months ago
I think @bonnie wanted it submitted to this: https://www.tribute.co/nac-land-acknowledgements/?name=National&email=nac%40codefora[…]utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=website&utm_source=sendgrid.com
with a list for la county. Then potentially also move it to the hackforla website. I would double check the original thread!

Oh, shoot. I'm visiting family right now. I'll look for the original thread in the morning, if that's ok.

@jude Calvillo At the present moment I am just looking for the list of tribes for LA county so I can make a tribute video.

Jude Calvillo 4 months ago
@bonnie, LMK if this does the trick for you... https://raw.githubusercontent.com/judecalvillo/native-land-attribution/master/dat/los-angeles-county_native-american-lands.csv

Bonnie 4 months ago
@jude Calvillo yes, that’s awesome. Can I get a list of all the tribes without dupes?

Jude Calvillo 4 months ago
@bonnie sure. I can do that before bed. In the meantime, you might want to try opening this up in Excel, then simply selecting the "native _territories" column and going to Data > Text to Columns in the menu, then creating a field with a formula for UNIQUE(... and selecting the resultant cells from the previous step. That should give you the uniques after parsing them out. -- I'd totally do that for you, but I'm currently picking someone up from the airport. Hope you're having a nice weekend.

Jude Calvillo 4 months ago
@bonnie here ya' go: Chumash, Tongva, Kizh, Micqanaqa’n, Fernandeño Tataviam, Acjachemen (Juaneño), Payómkawichum (Luiseño), Yuhaviatam/Maarenga’yam (Serrano), Kitanemuk

Next steps are

• reach out to the original data scientist who made this Jude Calvillo and ask him if he is interested in making a presentation out of his findings?
• If no, then put in the prioritized backlog for someone to make a presentation out of it, and dicuss with team at next meeting.
