No hotspots shown with dot

[DevJelle]

It looks like there are no hotspots showing up on the map. But when searching for a hotspot name it will take me there.

I was using a homegrown backend API that collected all hotspot info and that is what is used to display them on the map. The search uses the Helium API which is why it works out of the gate. To get all hotspots to display, you will need to have a way to pull all that data (either from Helium API or your own ETL).

Details of this can be found in the README as bullet 1.

Wouldn't a simple Helium API pull just work? Cause that is what I tried for the last couple of days but I still haven't been able to have the hotspots shown.

[radrob1]

No because you have to transform it to geojson. The hotspots.json is an example of format

A got it thank you. It makes more sense now. Will start straight away.

Hi @radrob1 thank you for the support you have given me. I have something stable working now. Could I ask you how you generated the example hotspots.json file?

[radrob1]

I was running a script to hit the Helium hotspots API to pull all the hotspot info and transform it to what I needed. That process was becoming more and more cumbersome with the addition of new hotspots growing rapidly and that file size was also getting out of control. It is probably better to use the Helium hotspot search API to pull a specific area of hotspots rather then try to pre-load all hotspots.
