I used python made API calls collecting, cleaning and sending data using Python and the pandas library, and once converting the Json to a GeoJson file I sent it to Mongo DB where Anish created an API to retrieve the data. I also plotted the data using the the google maps API and created a heat map just to see if the data looked accurate.
