Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

World Countries - Centroids

Centroids of world countries in CSV, GeoJson, etc

Background/Problems

  • There is no generally accepted definition of geographic center, and no completely satisfactory method for determining it. (USGS)
  • The geographic center of a region is a fundamental geographic concept, and yet there is no commonly accepted method for its determination. (Peter A. Rogerson)

Version 1.0 has been updated to use the centroid of the largest land mass. This way large countries with many disparate areas (like USA, New Zealand, Chile, Portugal) have more rational center points.

Schema

  • longitude
  • latitude
  • COUNTRY - country name
  • ISO - country ISO code
  • COUNTRYAFF - country affiliated
  • AFF_ISO - country affiliated ISO code

Data Usage

There are multiple ways to access the data.

Download

Go to the releases page to download, then check the dist folder for the data files.

REST API (ArcGIS Feature Service)

The data is also published to an ArcGIS Online hosted feature service. The REST endpoint to query is:

https://services9.arcgis.com/l9yXFvhjz46ekkZV/arcgis/rest/services/Countries_Centroids/FeatureServer/0/query

For example, get the center point of Mexico:

https://services9.arcgis.com/l9yXFvhjz46ekkZV/arcgis/rest/services/Countries_Centroids/FeatureServer/0/query?where=ISO+%3D+%27MX%27&outFields=*&f=pgeojson

REST call - all data

Use JSDelivr to get all the data as CSV or GeoJSON:
