Joplin & Python ( Static Map ) : How to create a Maps (JPEG) with REST API and data in Joplin ?

Step 0 : Install Joplin and activate the REST API ( https://joplin.cozic.net/api/ ) .

Step 1: Install staticmap with pip ( for more information see https://github.com/komoot/staticmap )

$ pip install staticmap

print ("Number total of request",nb_request)
print ("Number total of pin",nb_plot)

On same folder, you see mymap_zoom*.png .

To change the size of map, it’s here : ( by default 1600 x 800 )

m = StaticMap(1600, 800, url_template='http://a.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png')

Time to build the pictures :

$ time python3 JoplinToStaticMap.py 
Number total of request 1927
Number total of pin 643
