aqi-stations-scraper's Introduction

Welcome to my profile 👋
Alejandro Fontal's personal Website



I'm Alejandro, a researcher from Barcelona specialized in the application of Data Science in several areas, including but not limited to Bioinformatics, Epidemiology and Computational Biomedicine. Feel free to reach me in any of the socials I left above!

Current role

I am currently performing my research in the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), while pursuing a PhD in the University of Barcelona (UB) funded by a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Fellowship under the umbrella of the HELICAL Innovative Training Network.

In my research project, I combine tools from Time Series Analysis, GIS, Metagenomic sequencing and Epidemiology to try to find out what are the etiologic agents causing a pedriatric syndrome affecting thousands of children every year: Kawasaki Disease.

aqi-stations-scraper's Issues

Write tests

Write a small test that basically does the whole workflow but for a handful of stations.

Fetch station coordinates

Right now, the methodology of the scraper is rather rudimentary, and while we are able to pick up the names of the stations, they are sometimes not specific enough to resolve the accurate location of the monitoring station.

I am working on a way to reverse geocode each of the stations using once again a hacky Selenium solution and Mapdeveloper's geocode tool, which provides a set of coordinates, state/zip code, etc. given a direction. Many of the names are not precise enough though, and the obtained coordinates will be rather imprecise but at least work at the city/prefecture level.

We should find a solution to solve this by fetching the coordinate values directly from AQICN, since they must have them to display the stations on the map, but I am not sure they expose them to the user in the website.

Selenium Scraper is broken

The site changed ~3 months ago so the Selenium scraper just doesn't work right now.
Should re-write the instructions to adapt to the new website.

Github Actions breaks after deprecating Node.js 12

Github is removing support for Node 12, and several of the actions used in the GHA depend on it, so they're now broken.

  • actions/setup-python@v2
  • Gr1N/setup-poetry@v7

This is probably breaking the CI/CD of many of my repos, so better get it solved soon.
