eBird Histogram Reader CLI (ebird-histogramr-cli)

v1.1.0

A CLI tool for parsing eBird "BarChart" histogram files.

Features

Currently, the only feature is conversion of an eBird Histogram into a CSV. I expect I'll add more in the future.

Installation

You'll need Node.js installed on your system. After that, in the terminal, you can install with the command:

npm install ebird-histogram-cli --global

Usage

It's a pretty simple command-line tool right now. The only command right now is:

histogramr-csv "[Histogram URL]"

The "BarChart URL" is found at the bottom of any eBird "Bar Chart" page. Just copy the link, and paste it in with quotes around it.

So, for example...

histogramr-csv "http://ebird.org/ebird/barchartData?r=L2093687&bmo=1&emo=12&byr=1900&eyr=2017&fmt=tsv"

This will create a *-histogram-$.csv file, where * is the hotspot location ID and $ are the years selected. Histograms do not contain the human-readable Hotspot name, unfortunately, so this is the format for now.
