HTTP API reference

Full-text search over places, optionally biased toward a point and filtered to one category.

Every place category with how many places carry it. Cached for five minutes.

Turn an address into ranked candidate points.

The nearest address or place to a point; falls back to the nearest street (kind: 'segment'), or kind: 'none'.

The closest places in one or more categories, nearest first, with distances.

For each requested facet (grocery, park, pharmacy, coffee, gym, restaurant, school), the single nearest match or null. Built for walkability-style listing facets.

Full detail for one place by its Overture GERS id: category, confidence, contact details and location.

Other places within 250 m of the given one, nearest first. An unknown id returns an empty list.

Turn-by-turn directions between two points on Atlas’s road graph. Endpoints snap to the nearest road usable by the mode; the X-Atlas-Graph-Generation header identifies the graph version that answered.

Directions that minimize travel time × (1 + Σ weight × value), where each value comes from a grid you send: heat stress, noise, air quality, anything you can map. Each street takes the mean of the cells along it, and an empty cell borrows from its neighbors so a street drawn slightly differently on another map still matches. Values ≤ 0 and empty cells add nothing, so the ranked route is never cheaper than travel time. durationS is real travel time; costS is the cost it was ranked by. Set compare to get the plain fastest route alongside.

The area reachable from a point within a time budget, as a polygon. Powers “within 20 minutes of work” searches.

Drive, walk, bike and transit times between two points in one call. Each mode reports ok: false with a note instead of failing the whole request.

Walk + transit itineraries from GTFS timetables, with local and ISO times for every leg.

Closest GTFS stops to a point, nearest first.

Line geometry and colors for drawing a transit map, optionally for one feed and one bounding box. Cached for an hour.

Every administrative division that contains a point (neighborhood, city, county, region, country), most specific first.

One division’s boundary as a GeoJSON geometry.

Ground elevation at a point from the region’s elevation grid, interpolated between samples.

The latest observation from the nearest station: temperature, wind, visibility, ceiling and sky cover. Each call is also recorded as an observation.

Active road work and incidents in the point’s region, as a GeoJSON FeatureCollection in the WZDx feed shape.

A Mapbox Vector Tile of roads, buildings, land use, water and places, for MapLibre or any MVT client.

A rendered PNG basemap tile, in the default or vibrant theme.

Shaded relief rendered from the region’s elevation grid.

A tile from an ingested remote-sensing dataset (for example land surface temperature or nighttime lights), rendered on demand from cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs. Colormap, rescale range and band algorithm are request parameters, like Earth Engine visParams.

The Earth Engine collection ids Atlas can serve (Landsat, Sentinel-2, MODIS, SRTM, …) and whether each is available now or needs-ingest.

Static analysis of a Code Editor script: which ee.* calls and datasets it uses and whether Atlas supports all of them, without running it.

Runs a Code Editor script and saves the result as a report: printed values, chart data and map layers rendered on demand. Needs a long-running server (ATLAS_EE_RUN=1).

Your reports and public ones, newest first.

A report’s script, printed output, chart data tables and layer definitions.

Deletes one of your reports.

A shareable HTML page with the report’s map, charts and printed output.

A kepler.gl map config for the report, so it opens in kepler.gl or Dekart.

One map layer of a report, rendered as a PNG tile on demand from the layer’s stored graph.

Uploaded tables scripts can load with ee.FeatureCollection(id).

Creates or replaces a GeoJSON FeatureCollection under projects/<you>/assets/<name>, the same way an Earth Engine table asset is addressed.

The OGC 3D Tiles tileset for the region containing the point; its content is content.glb.

The region’s extruded buildings and roads as binary glTF.

The region’s road network as ASAM OpenDRIVE, ready for CARLA and other driving simulators.

An ASAM OpenSCENARIO file that references the region’s opendrive.xodr.

Whether the API and its database are up.
