A new Python recipe that converts a shapefile to output GeoJSON coordinates is now available! This recipe takes a shapefile as input and converts it to GeoJSON coordinates, then outputs a request body that can be used with the [Create a zone set](https://developer.streetlightdata.com/reference/create-a-zone-set-1) API endpoint. You can customize the recipe to change the properties of the zones, the format of the output, and more. Check out **StreetLight InSight® API: Convert a shapefile to GeoJSON to create a zone set** in the [Recipes](https://developer.streetlightdata.com/recipes) tab.

I'm trying to replicate an analysis I did on the Insight platform and I keep getting the following error but I can't seem to figure out why: ```python ''' The following is in the payload to post to the analysis url. I have the UUID for the site in a dictionary so I can query it quickly. ''' "analysis_name": ANALYSIS_NAME, "date_ranges": [{"start_date": date['start_date'], "end_date": date['end_date']}], "oz_sets": [{"uuid": site_dict['TLAZ']}], ``` ```python response = requests.post(analysis_url, json=payload, headers=headers) print(response.text) {"message":"Invalid input, oz_sets are empty"} ``` Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

A new Python recipe that automates analysis creation for time trend analysis is now available. You can use this recipe to run analyses for multiple months or years, enabling you to compare changes in activity and analyze trends over time. You can enter your credentials and run the code sample to test it out, or you can customize the zones, analysis details, and dates for your own month-over-month or year-over-year analyses of time trends. For information on configuring this recipe, see [Analyzing time trends with the StreetLight InSight® API](doc:analyzing-time-trends-with-the-streetlight-insight-api).
