a fuckton of geojson data

geojson

GeoJSON datasets of:

• Continents
• Regions & Subregions (as defined by the UN Geoscheme)
• Countries and their administrative divisions
• Cities with populations greater than 1000
• Timezones (as defined by the tz database)
• Major Bodies of Water

Usage

The current version of the data is 4.1. If GADM has updated and the administrative data for countries needs to be rescraped, do the following:

• Ensure you have python and pip 3 installed
• Install packages: pip3 install -r requirements.txt
• Run the scraper: python3 ./scripts/countries.py

The scraper does the following:

• Clears old GADM data from geojson/countries
• Gets all ISO 3166-1 alpha3 country codes (250) with available datasets on GADM
• Scrapes GADM by country code and populates a directory for each country with all administrative division data available
  • admin_0 describes the boundaries of the country itself
  • First order administrative level data (ISO 3166-2) (admin_1) is available for all but 49 countries
  • Administrative divisions up to fourth-level are available where applicable
