Hi all, I'm a UC Berkeley student, and I'm trying to fetch some water points data for my capstone project. I understand that Taarifa does something on those lines, not just for water but for other things. Was wondering if anyone could guide me on this. I've actually completed all the steps on the repo's readme file. I can connect to the API fine since I can see the docs. But I don't know how to get the data (if that's possible). 

Appreciate any help on this, 

Best regards,

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for trying but this is a pretty old project and Im not sure we
still have the data, at least I no longer have it :/

Cheers
Dirk

Ivan, can you clarify which version of Taarifa you're using? Which README are you referring to?

I'm afraid Dirk is probably right and we no longer have the data (I don't have anything anymore either).

Thank you for your reply!

This is the one we found


We have been trying to get data like the Tanzanian data but from other places and even more diverse data. So far WPdx is our main data source. Not too crazy about it's quality but still good. Just wondering if any of you might know someone that might have collected similar data and could put me in touch with them? I know it's a long shot but just curious.

Thank you again for all your help

Ivan, it's been about 9 years since we last worked on this project, so any contacts we might have had at the time are likely outdated :)

+Mark Iliffe Do you happen to still have any contacts in this area?
