Reckless Roosters

Find Crime-Prone Animals. Once.

Crime-Prone Animals Logo

Our goal is to prove that animals are also crime prone - especially jaywalking.

Yes, really.

Ok, ok! RecklessRoosters is a test project that shows how data can be used, even if they seem unrelated, to build stories.

In short, RecklessRoosters uses data from the GBIF database for daily animal spottings. We enrich this data, with the distance from a public road using the OSM overpass API. By this process, we can pinpoint any animals that may be jaywalking.

Post the most common animal to jaywalk to X automatically, daily.

Stories about the daily animal!

Easier mapping to common names (such as Peter the Pony, or Floris the Fly), but also more people friendly names - like a "fly" instead of "Homocapalus Propanasus Oilus"

Yes! It is still very much under development, but beta, fastapi-based API documentation can be vieweed here (swagger) or here (redoc)
