Contribution for Côte d’Ivoire/Ivory Coast

[GilbertKouame]

Hi guys,

We are trying to contribute to electricity map by uploading the information for Côte d’Ivoire. But having some trouble for step 4 : make code changes and test them.
We don't see where to click to (or how to make) the changes to the code. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi!

I'm not exactly sure what you mean?

If you are trying to add data for a new zone someone will have to build a parser for it so we can continuously fetch new data.

But there is no button or similar for this as every source use a different data structure so each parser have to be custom built for that source.

Ok I'll try to make it clear. We are following the 6 steps to make a code contribution. It's said : 1/ Fork the repository : done 2/ Clone your fork of the repository : done 3/Set up and start your local environment (see steps here) : done 4/ Make your code changes and test them in your local environment : we don't see how to do that. And this is we are. So, We should instead build a parser. Right ? Thanks for your reply. Gilbert Le ven. 30 août 2024, 10:36, Viktor Andersson ***@***.***> a écrit :

I think you need to take a look at https://github.com/electricitymaps/electricitymaps-contrib/wiki/Building-a-new-parser it should describe what is needed to build a new parser.

By the way, another question ... We are contributing with annual data right hoping it'll incentivize decision makers here to cooperate for the real time data ... at l'est monthly or daily. Many thanks. Gilbert Le ven. 30 août 2024, 10:36, Viktor Andersson ***@***.***> a écrit :

We don't accept annual data simply because it's not accurate enough when compared to hourly data and because the delay for getting such data would be too long.
