AFF saved query converter

(NOTE: This Gist is no longer being maintained. See https://github.com/myersjustinc/american_linkfinder for further updates.)

This converter takes a saved query file from American FactFinder and generates a deep link URL corresponding to that query.

There are two versions of the converter:

Country codes

Just thought they might be handy to have around.

Methodology

The alpha-2 codes were copied from the ISO itself. The alpha-3 and numeric codes were copied from the UN Statistics Division, and any name discrepancies between the two organizations were resolved in favor of the UN version.

This takes an HTML document that contains a client-side image map ( and elements) and creates an SVG image based on the shapes described in the image map (since SVG's a more general-purpose format than the HTML image map).

The HTML document doesn't necessarily have to be well-formed XML (there's a fallback to the BeautifulSoup parser for documents with some weirdness in them), which might be useful.

Dependencies

Python (of course)

	// One thing to keep in mind: In this data object, state names which normally have spaces
	// continue to do so. In the image map (see map.html), they have underscores instead of
	// spaces. (This is because the HTML class attribute treats spaces as separators so an
	// element can have multiple classes.) This is why there are different .replace() calls
	// throughout this script to add or remove the underscores as necessary.
