R-Script or tips to download and use sensor data

I would do:

  1. load the current API data in order to get the list of all the sensors as json: https://data.sensor.community/static/v1/data.json

  2. import the data in QGIS: Download QGIS

  3. get a shapefile of Belgium and import it in QGIS

  4. use the intersection algorithm in QGIS in order to get the sensor IDs in Belgium

  5. write a simple script in python to download in the archives according to IDs and dates :

    import requests
#Mettre les ID des capteurs dans le tableau séparées par des virgules
sensor_id = []
#Mettre les dates dans le tableau au format 'YYYY-MM-DD' séparées par des virgules
dates = []
url_deb = 'https://archive.sensor.community/'

for n1 in range(0,len(dates)):
    date = dates[n1]
    url_ok = url_deb + date
    r1 = requests.get(url_ok)
    source_code = r1.text

    for n2 in range(0,len(sensor_id)):
        test = 'sensor_'+str(sensor_id[n2])+'.csv'
     
        if test in source_code:
            split1 = source_code.split(test)[0]
            split2 = split1.split('<a href="')[-1]
            url_fin = url_ok + '/' + split2 + test
            r2 = requests.get(url_fin)
            data = r2.text
            #Les données vont s'afficher dans le terminal. 
            print(data)
