I kept getting GitHubError: 422 Validation Failed from github3.py when running geojsonio.display(json, force_gist=True). Then I found issue 795 on the github3.py repo. Are there any plans already in the works to pass GitHub account info for pushing geojsons to authorized gists?

When I try to visualize a bigger geojson, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    sys.exit(main())

    raise error_for(r)
github3.exceptions.AuthenticationFailed: 401 Requires authentication

How can I authenticate?

Taking a wild guess that maybe PyPI is not liking the RST because it ends in the middle of an indented block.

I think docutils likes to see an unindented line to finish each block.

Wild guess...

Allows users to use a gist even for smaller geojson content. This might be useful for creating quick geojson.io examples for embedding in HTML and may be slightly faster in some cases. To maintain backwards compatibility, the new option defaults to False. This PR also contains some PEP 8 cleanups.

Github does not allow anonymous gist creation, so we have to provide an identification token. This is done using command line parameter ("-t", "--github-token") To create a token, go to https://github.com/settings/tokens

Thank you for your contribution, the tool is pretty cool and simple.

I tried to reproduce an example using geopandas as in the README but I got an error message once the browser opens: "Could not parse JSON" on the top left, and an empty FeatureCollection on the right.

import geopandas as gpd
import geojsonio

gdf = gpd.read_file(gpd.datasets.get_path('naturalearth_lowres')) 
geojsonio.display(gdf.to_json())
geojsonio.display(gdf.iloc[:2].to_json()) # Worked

After investigation, I found that in fact the problem depends on the size of the URL request, as the geojson loaded is big.

I manage to get it worked if I take the first 4 rows of the GeoDataFrame, but it can't make it above 7. I bet it is a restriction on geojson.io side, but I wonder if you had a solution to bypass ? Maybe login or run it local somehow, I am not sure.

Created auth(gituser, gitpass) and testauth() methods.

To solve the issue (https://github.com/jwass/geojsonio.py/issues/11) I had to create an auth method using github3.py.

Hi,

Following this tutorial: https://www.twilio.com/blog/2017/08/geospatial-analysis-python-geojson-geopandas.html

When I get to the geojsonio.display() line, I get the following error:

with data from Google in the file map.geojson I receive the following error:
