What's this?

This is a plugin for PokemonGo-Bot that logs every pokemon encountered in the wild. Aditionally it plots the caught Pokemon on a map and allows you to filter them.

Using this you can map where certain pokemontypes are encountered and maybe find a nest that you didn't know existed.

What it does

When a Pokemon is encountered in the wild, it's stats and position will be stored inside the PokemonGo-Bot folder, in a file named pokemon-file-output.csv by default. An entry will look something like this (but without a header and comma separated):

Date                | Pokemon ID  | Latitude  | Longitude | IV   | IV Display | CPs | Name
--------------------+-------------+-----------+-----------+------+------------+-----+------
2016-09-08 16:22:25 |          97 | 47.000000 | 27.000000 | 0.47 |     7/0/14 |  28 | Hypno
2016-09-08 16:24:18 |          19 | 47.000000 | 27.000000 | 0.53 |     6/7/11 |  10 | Rattata

Installation

In the PokemonGo-Bot configs/config.json file, initialize the plugin by adding it to the plugins array:

"plugins: [
    "<path to the plugin>" 
]

The path can be either a local path (if the plugin is downloaded locally, for development) or a GitHub url (including exact commit)

To use the plugin, create a new task in your config file similar to the one below. A good place to put this is before the CatchPokemon task. The datafile is the file where the found Pokemon will be saved.

{
    "type": "pgbot-logging.PokemonLogger"
    "config": {
        "datafile": "pokemon-file-output.csv"
    }
}

How to use it

Inside the plugin's folder there is a folder named web. You can copy the output file from the bot's directory to the data directory inside this webfolder. Also copy the data/config.json.example to data/config.json and add your configuration settings (including your own Google Maps API key).

After all this the structure will look something like:

/pgbot-logging
    /web
        /css
        /data
            config.json
            pokemon-file-output.csv
        /images
        /js

Alternatively, you can create a symlink to the data file and have the bot run and collecting data.

Then all you need to do is start a web-server from the web directory. We'll use port 8001 as we might already have the OpenPoGoWeb UI already running on port 8000.

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8001

TODO

• Improve configuration setup and simplify it
• Improve and enhance the web interface. It's pretty basic right now
• Find a better way to store the data and to retrieve it
• Autorefresh the map - add new markers if needed
• Maybe some statistics or at least counters for found pokemon
• Filtering by date?
