Projects with Geometry

A GeoJSON FeatureCollection with one Feature per MapSwipe project. Each feature carries the same metadata as projects.csv (minus geom, since the geometry is on the feature itself) and a geometry of type GeometryCollection.

Schema

One feature per project, with the following properties:

Name Type Description
id string The numeric project ID, serialized as a string in GeoJSON properties.
firebase_id string The alphanumeric ID of the project from the old Firebase system.
name string The name of the project as displayed in the app.
description string The project description displayed in the app on the project page.
look_for string What users should look for in the project (e.g., buildings, houses, paved roads).
project_type string The project type code (serialized as a string), e.g. 1=Find features, 2=Validate footprints, 3=Compare dates, 4=Check completeness, 7=View streets, 10=Assess Images.
project_type_display string Human-readable name of the project type.
organization_name string The name of the organisation requesting the project.
image_url string URL to the project image displayed in the app.
created_at string When the project was created, ISO timestamp with timezone.
status string Project status code (serialized as a string), e.g. 30=Processing Failed, 40=Processed, 70=Withdrawn, 75=Finished, 80=Discarded.
status_display string Human-readable project status.
area_sqkm string Project area in square kilometers, serialized as a string.
centroid string Centroid of the project geometry as WKT POINT (EPSG:4326).
progress string Project progress as a fraction (0.0 – 1.0), serialized as a string.
number_of_contributor_users string Distinct users who contributed to this project, serialized as a string.
number_of_results string Total swipes submitted across all of the project’s tasks, serialized as a string.
number_of_results_for_progress string Swipes that count toward progress (excludes redundant mappings beyond the required threshold), serialized as a string.
last_contribution_date string Date of the most recent contribution to the project (YYYY-MM-DD).

The feature’s geometry is a GeometryCollection containing the project’s area-of-interest polygon(s) in EPSG:4326.

Sample download

A 10-row preview is shipped alongside these docs for reference. It is not the live dataset — for the full export, see the MapSwipe data page.

Additions in New Architecture

The following fields have been added in the export after the architecture revamp

  • project_type_display: Short name of the task type (e.g., “Find Features”, “Validate Footprints”).
  • status_display: Human-readable project state (Finished, Withdrawn, Discarded…).
  • number_of_contributor_users: Total unique volunteers who tapped on this project.
  • number_of_results: Every single swipe ever made in the project.
  • number_of_results_for_progress: Swipes that actually moved the progress bar (excludes extras).
  • last_contribution_date: Date of the most recent swipe (YYYY-MM-DD).
  • progress: % of the area fully mapped (0.0 = 0%, 1.0 = 100%).
