Movebank API changes #75

Closed xhdong-umd closed 5 years ago

xhdong-umd commented 5 years ago

There are some changes in Movebank API side, and direct import from Movebank doesn't work for now. We also need to use the new updated API which can download the full data.

I'll work on this once I'm officially switched back to the project.

The direct import problem came from my change in importing data safely quite some ago. I didn't test this part frequently because it usually take some time to download studies and data. Now the bug has been fixed.

I have updated the app to use the new API. Now full data will be downloaded and imported.

I also improved the handling when some studies have no data or require license agreement. Previously there was some error/warning message may confuse users, now they are properly processed.
