How to create an animation with Folium?

Question

I am using Folium to create maps in Python.

I have a Pandas DataFrame where entries (latitude and longitude) are indexed by time. I would like to plot those entries one hour at a time (from 00:00 to 01:00 ...... from 23:00 to 00:00) in order to see the evolution of the of the locations on the map.

Is there a way to create an animation or video for such a purpose in Folium.

You can use the TimestampedGeoJson plugin for this. See an example here:
