Note: Make sure to download and update example_config.yaml

Running the Application

1. Update the contents of config.yaml file with the desired bounding box, usernames, and optional date.

2. Run the application using one of the following methods:
   

   A) From the downloaded executable file: Double click on the downloaded executable file to run the application.

   B) From Python: From the terminal window, navigate to the directory where the dash_app.py file is located. To download and run the application, use the following command:

   pip install git+https://github.com/mmann1123/OSM_LeaderBoard.git

   leaderboard

3. Then in the browser window select or drag your config.yaml file to the upload box. The leaderboard will be displayed in the browser window once the api calls are complete.

Configuration

The application is configured through a file config.yaml file. Here's what each configuration option does:

• bbox: This is the bounding box for the area you're interested in. It should be a string with four comma-separated numbers representing the latitude and longitude of the southwest and northeast corners of the bounding box, respectively. For example: "40.551042, -74.05663, 40.739446, -73.833365".

Note: You can use http://bboxfinder.com/
switch "coordinate format" to "Lat / Lng"

• usernames: This is a list of usernames that the application will use to do XYZ. Each username should be a string. For example:

  usernames:
    - mmann1123
    - ...
    - ...
  

• newer_than_date: This is an optional configuration option. If provided, the application will only consider data newer than this date. The date should be a string in the format "YYYY-MM-DD". For example: "2024-05-01".

An example config.yaml file might look like this:

bbox: "40.551042, -74.05663, 40.739446, -73.833365"
usernames:
  - mmann1123
  - haycam
  - I-Izzo
  - isamah
newer_than_date: "2010-12-01"
