Full Version: Flickr open data - making trajectories
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello all, I am quite new with programming (I have some Python knowledge) and for my project at the University I need to do already some advanced stuff. My task is to make trajectories from the users traveling in a particular country. In this case, it should be Croatia. So, the Flickr user comes to the country and travels eg from capital to the coastline, or along the coastline. It is expected that we can make a trajectory of his or her trip there. But, it should not be done manually, rather for many users at the same time, using Python code.

Now, I do not expect anyone to give me such code (but if there is similar code, would be great). I would like advice to even start - what should be my first steps, what is important to know in Python for doing such a task. If anyone has experience doing a similar task, I would like to know how difficult it is. Surely, I could also do it somewhat manually, that is, extracting 50 or 100 users and then do programming from their data, but also this for me is a challenge.

I will talk to my professor a lot, but gaining some knowledge here would be very beneficial.

Great, thanks. But I do also need a manual for extracting data from social media sites using Python. Any advice on this?
