Installation

This assumes that you have native python3 & pip installed in your system, you can test this by going to the terminal (or windows command prompt) and trying

python and then pip list

To install Plant Village Simple CLI for Survey Access you can install using two methods.

pip install plantpy

or you can also try

git clone https://github.com/samapriya/plantpy.git
cd plantpy
python setup.py install

For Linux use sudo or try pip install plantpy --user.

I recommend installation within a virtual environment.

Getting started

As usual, to print help:

plantpy -h
usage: plantpy [-h] {auth,locust,extract} ...

Plant Village Survey Export: Simple CLI

positional arguments:
  {auth,locust,extract}
    auth                Saves your username and password
    locust              Export locust survey data
    extract             Export and filter locust survey to geometry

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

To obtain help for specific functionality, simply call it with help switch, e.g.: plantpy auth -h.

plantpy auth

For now this stores the username and password as a JSON file which eliminates the need for users to input authentication details again and again.

plantpy auth -h
usage: plantpy auth [-h]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

---

plantpy locust

This allows you to export the locust reports based on country, start and end date into a CSV file. Use country as "all" to get report on all countries in current survey list. It has some inherent features, it looks for your country in existing country list and will let you know if returned CSV is empty. Usage is simply

plantpy locust -h
usage: plantpy locust [-h] --start START --end END --country COUNTRY --report
                      REPORT

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit

Required named arguments.:
  --start START      Start Date YYYY-MM-DD
  --end END          End date YYYY-MM-DD
  --country COUNTRY  Select country to get data or use 'all'
  --report REPORT    full path to CSV report file

---

plantpy extract

This tool will allow you to work with the extracted CSV file and generate a point GeoJSON file containing the location and properties of the survey report. The tool also allows you to pass a geometry GeoJSON file to filter by geometry.

plantpy extract -h
usage: plantpy extract [-h] --input INPUT --output OUTPUT
                       [--geometry GEOMETRY]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit

Required named arguments.:
  --input INPUT        Path to input CSV survey data file
  --output OUTPUT      Path to output GeoJSON file or Shapefile

Optional named arguments:
  --geometry GEOMETRY  Path to filter geometry as a GeoJSON file
