A very quick example of how to construct the query that will eventually be linked to on the country pages.

gistfile1.py

import requests

def construct_query(iso, fmt = 'shp'):
    # Builds the API call to download FORMA in various formats Other
    # acceptable formats are 'csv', 'GeoJSON', 'JSON', 'kml', or 'svg'
    base = "http://wri-01.cartodb.com/api/v2"
    var = "x,y,date_array"
    sql = "SELECT %s FROM gfw2_forma WHERE iso = '{%s}'" % (var, iso)
    query = "%s/sql?format=%s&q=%s" % (base, fmt, sql)
    
    # return the result.  do something with it, depending on format.
    return requests.get(query)
