In my blog post about checking Streetview capture dates with python and geojson the Python 3 package Fiona is used. In this post I’ll explain how to install it using OSGeo4W.

THIS BLOGPOST AND THE SCRIPTS ON GITLAB WERE UPDATED ON DECEMBER 29, 2020, BECAUSE THE OLD API DIDN’T WORK ANYMORE. FROM NOW ON AN OFFICIAL GOOGLE API CAN BE USED. CHANGES WERE MARKED IN RED ON DECEMBER 29, 2020.

In the past I have created a map of Antwerp, Kontich and Edegem that shows when the most recent Google Streetview images were taken. To do so I use a MySQL database and some PHP scripts. I created multiple blog posts on how I make these maps:

• A map with the most recent Streetview capture dates per street: how to get started!
• A map with the most recent Streetview capture dates per street: the PHP and SQL scripts I use

As a comment on the Dutch version of that last blog post, I got the question if it was possible to do the same with a GeoJSON or a Geopackage file and something else than PHP. So I translated my MySQL – PHP combo to GeoJSON and Python 3.
