This integration for movement data requires assistance from the wpsWatch team to configure your account for data push to Gundi.
Prerequisites
Data Fetch
- wpsWatch Account.
- All deployments for the site must have a location specified in wpsWatch.
Data Delivery
EarthRanger
You will need:
- A special EarthRanger user with permissions to post event data.
- Please refer to EarthRanger's documentation or contact Support.
- A long-lived token for the special user.
- Please refer to EarthRanger's documentation or contact Support.
- Confirm that the required event types and schemas are configured in EarthRanger. Consult our references here.
TrapTagger
Coming Soon..
Configuration in Gundi
Click Create Connection.
Select wpsWatch.
Select your Organization.
Enter a Connection Name (e.g., wpsWatch - ProjectName).
Click Next.
Select a Destination. Please consult our guides.
Next Steps
Navigate to your Connection.
Copy the API Key from the Overview tab.
Provide this API key to your WPS point of contact. This authentication key will help them complete the integration for you.
WPS Staff will help you with the following actions:
- Make sure that all deployments have a location specified in wpsWatch.
- Edit the Integrations in the wpsWatch site to enable the Gundi integration with the URL and API Key.
- Update the alert configuration(s) in wpsWatch to send the alerts to Gundi.
- Validations.
Considerations
- The current scope does not include event updates, so if a photo is tagged with ‘animal’ in wpsWatch and sent to ER via Gundi, it will create the event with the animal tag, but if a ‘rhino’ tag is then added to the photo in wpsWatch, that tag won’t be added to the event in ER. This will be handled in future development.
- Cmore and TrapTagger are looking at integrating with Gundi, which would be other endpoints we’d route to. There is no timeline on Cmore, but we expect the TrapTagger integration to be available soon.
- The array of tags isn’t reportable in ER, so there’s a separate Tags field that contains a comma-delimited list of tags that can be used for reporting. It isn’t displayed in the UI for the event, but it is included in exports.
Data Delivery
The time it takes for data to appear in your destination system depends on several factors, such as latency introduced by the source, network conditions, and intermediary systems. While these factors may vary, Gundi typically checks for available data at scheduled intervals (approximately every 10 minutes).
If data is not available in your system after this interval, please check the source of the data for its availability. If the issue persists, contact our Support team for assistance.
