A simple script to scrape Pollen Mobile data into a Postgres Database. This can be used as a cron script to keep an up-to-date copy for your own custom frontend or scripts.
This requires Go 1.18+ installed. After you clone the repository, running it is simple:
go run main.go
Optionally, if you want to also sync certain geographic hexes, you can list them:
go run main.go "852a1393fffffff,852a104bfffffff,852a1057fffffff" "85283457fffffff,852830c7fffffff,85283467fffffff"
The script populates 3 tables: pollen_flowers, pollen_hexes, and pollen_rewards. Each stores representative information from the API, along with canonical IDs to join against tables.
Here are a few H3 Hex Bounding Boxes I've been using:
