I was briefed with creating a map that allows users to search the legality of bitcoin by jurisdiction.
I used the following technologies/frameworks to create this map:
The legal information was scraped from Wikipedia using a custom scraping script I created.
The different countries were created using GeoJSON data consisting of boundary coordinates for every country on Earth, which I had to clean before writing a script to display them.
The basic map was created using Google Maps API.
For displaying news, I created a script which maps the key words bitcoin, crypto and the country's name to a Google News API as well as a Crypto News API. This ensures that when a user searches for a specific country or location, the news they receive is related to it. I employed a similar technique when connecting to Twitter's API to display relevant tweets.
This project is ongoing.
