Polygon gridding using Geopandas and Shapely
Intro This post will discuss some work involving maps I’ve helped a client with. The main goal of the project was collecting various datasets from web services.

The API supports pagination, so if the area of the polygon is too big, we’ll have to do additional requests for all the result pages.

I was tasked with finding a bug in the code that was counting page views.
