    // Replace with your actual API endpoint
    fetch('/api/heatmap-interactions?start_date=2023-10-01&end_date=2023-10-31')
      .then(response => response.json())
      .then(data => {
        if (data.success) {
          new HeatmapLayer(map, data.data).addTo(map);
        }
      })
      .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
  }, [map]);
