Eco Counter connector

Anthony Pépin Updated by Anthony Pépin

The Eco Counter connector retrieves count data from Eco Counter's Eco-Visio platform. It creates a dataset with records about counting sites and counters.

Using the Eco Counter connector, you can retrieve two types of data:

  • Eco Counter Data provides data about a counter, including the counting Site ID where the counter is installed, etc.
  • Eco Counter Sites provides data about counting sites, including site position, installation date, etc.
This connector is not available by default. Please contact Opendatasoft for the activation of this connector on a given Opendatasoft domain.
