eBird2LaTeX

eBird2LaTeX is a Python module which generates a customisable bird checklist based on eBird barchart data.

Warning

The web version of the generator is not available anymore as eBird is requiring to login to get barchart data.

How to use?

The easiest way to use it is to run this notebook on colab: script_e2L.ipynb

You can now edit and run the script script_e2L.py or notebook script_e2L.ipynb.
