What it can do

The tools this server listed when we connected to it, in its own words.

  • calculate_distance — Exact geodesic distance between two places or geometries on the WGS84 ellipsoid. Use for any "how far" question instead of estimating. For N
  • check_spatial_relationship — Ground-truth topology: does geometry_a <relationship> geometry_b? Use instead of guessing containment, overlap or adjacency. Invalid geometr
  • spatial_operation — Compute a buffer (shape-preserving, metres), geodesic area or length, centroid or convex hull. Returns the resulting geometry as GeoJSON wit
  • geocode — Find coordinates for an address or place name (OpenStreetMap Nominatim). Check `geospark.warnings` for ambiguous names (e.g. "Springfield")
  • reverse_geocode — Find the address or place at a coordinate (OpenStreetMap Nominatim).
  • get_elevation — Ground elevation in metres (Copernicus GLO-30, Open Elevation fallback), with its vertical datum and accuracy.
  • route — Driving route between two points (OSRM over OpenStreetMap): line geometry, distance in metres and duration in seconds.
  • get_weather — Current weather and a daily forecast for a point (Open-Meteo, no key needed).
  • get_air_quality — Latest PM2.5, NO2, O3 from the nearest monitoring stations (OpenAQ; the server needs an OPENAQ_API_KEY), with each station's data licence.
  • get_active_fires — Satellite active-fire detections near a point (NASA FIRMS; the server needs a FIRMS_MAP_KEY).
  • isochrone — Where can you get to from a point within N minutes on foot, by bike or by car? Returns one polygon per contour with its geodesic area (Valha
  • travel_time_matrix — Network travel time (minutes) and distance (metres) from each origin to each destination. Note: points here are [latitude, longitude] pairs.
  • overture_features — Open global map data from Overture Maps, no API key: points of interest (with categories), building footprints (height, floors, geodesic foo
  • transform_coordinates — Convert coordinates between CRSs as the official transformation does: GDA94 to GDA2020, MGA zones, British National Grid (OSTN15), NAD27 to
  • convert_height — Convert a height between the ellipsoid (GNSS, drones) and a national height datum with the official geoid model: AHD (AUSGeoid2020), ODN (OS
  • sun_position — The Sun's apparent elevation and azimuth (from true north) at a place and time, and the shadow a vertical object casts on level ground (NOAA
  • sun_times — Sunrise, solar noon, sunset and day length on a date for a flat horizon; with terrain=True, also the hours of direct sun once hills are take
  • terrain_horizon — The skyline the terrain makes around a point: for each azimuth, the elevation angle of the horizon and how far away the blocking terrain is
  • line_of_sight — Whether A and B can see each other over the terrain (Copernicus 30 m DEM, curvature and refraction), the minimum clearance and where it occu
  • location_report — A dossier for a place: address, elevation, weather, and nearby amenities with exact distances, as a GeoJSON map layer listing every data sou
  • select_site — Rank candidate sites in an area by geodesic distance to amenities you want nearby and away from ones to avoid (OpenStreetMap data). Takes ~1
