What it can do
| Tool | What it says it does |
|---|---|
find_places | Find businesses and landmarks near a place in Mappit's directory of 14.9 million OpenStreetMap entries: by name ("Pike Place Market"), by kind ("pharmacy", "hotel", "cafe") or by cuisine ("ramen"). Nearest first, with address, opening hours, website and phone where OpenStreetMap has them. Data ©… |
get_digest | Mappit's editions: the Daily Digest (the day's top stories worldwide, as emailed to subscribers) and the weekly Week in Review (an analysis of the week's biggest storylines). Omit date and slug for the latest; set list to true for the archive. |
get_directions | Driving, walking or cycling directions between places: distance, travel time and turn-by-turn steps, with a link that opens the route on Mappit's map. Each end can be a town, a business or landmark ("Pike Place Market"), a street address, or "lat,lon". Routing © openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT; map… |
get_location | A place's profile on Mappit, for what a place is and who covers it: its written overview (geography, economy, recent history), its five latest stories, the storylines active here in the last 72 hours, the publishers that covered it in the last 30 days, live news radio and TV nearby, S&P 500… |
get_map_layer | One of Mappit's live map layers, for a place or the whole world: earthquakes (USGS), wildfires (NASA FIRMS), air_quality and weather (Open-Meteo), history (events on this day in past years), stocks (S&P 500 companies by headquarters), events (public event pins) and radio_tv (live news radio and TV… |
get_mappit_info | About Mappit itself: what it is, its version, how many stories, storylines and places it holds right now, the topic list (the slugs other tools accept as topic), and which countries it covers. Use to learn valid topics. |
get_statistic | One statistic for one country, US state, US county or congressional district from Mappit's Map Apps data (World Bank, BLS, BEA, Census, CDC, UCDP, UNHCR, FEC, MIT Election Lab and more): the value with its period, its rank, the US figure, the source and licence, and the recent series. Indicator… |
get_story | One story in full: headline, summary, publisher and article link, publication time, where it happened, how Mappit found it (found_by: its own crawler or an AI search vendor), the storyline it belongs to, and the other outlets that carried the same story (also_carried_by). Pass a story id from… |
get_thread | One storyline: its summary, its stories (newest first, paged) and, when it has one, Mappit's AI analysis — the story so far, why it matters, connections and what to watch. Attribute the analysis to Mappit. Pass an id from list_threads, whats_happening or search_mappit. |
list_map_apps | Mappit's Map Apps (its Layer Apps): statistics painted on the map — world and US economy, people, the environment and energy (temperature, the electricity mix, grid carbon), health, conflict and crisis, US elections and Mappit's own news atlas. Lists each app's views with the indicator code… |
list_stories | Page through Mappit's stories for a place, a country or the whole world, newest first (or sort "trending" for Mappit's ranking).

Optionally one topic or a time window. Use get_thread for one storyline's stories and Mappit's analysis… |
rank_regions | Countries, US states, US counties or congressional districts ranked by one indicator from Mappit's Map Apps data, for the latest or a given period, optionally within a country, a US state or a continent. Each value carries its period; the answer names the source and licence. Indicator codes come… |
search_mappit | Search Mappit by words or meaning. mode "keyword" (default) matches words in stories, storylines, places, businesses, public pins and public collections. mode "semantic" finds stories and storylines about an idea even when the words differ, e.g. "tenants organizing against rent increases".
