Simple CLI for Happywhale

LinkedIn Medium Twitter URL Mastodon Follow DOI CI happywhale Hits-of-Code PyPI version Donate Donate

Happywhale is a global citizen science project dedicated to whale and dolphin research and conservation. The user-friendly Happywhale app allows anyone to share photos of encounters with these marine mammals, which are then processed by a team of scientists and volunteers using advanced image recognition algorithms. Identified individuals are tracked over time and across locations, yielding valuable insights into their behavior and aiding in the preservation of critical habitats.

The CLI is designed to interact with the website and allow for you to perform operations like search, download and more using underlying api end points. The CLI provides tools based on API endpoints that may change and evolve and can lead to compatibility issues without API documentations so this tool will be developed as needed to support the larger community needs.
