EMBEDEARTH / SEARCH API

Cave Search API

Search caves and karst features with access, geology, protected areas, trails, roads, and visitor infrastructure.

core search

Search Caves by Area, Radius, or Map View

Build cave GIS data workflows that understand location from the start. Search caves inside a city, polygon, corridor, or visible map extent, then refine by category or application data. The result is structured geographic data that can immediately feed maps, routing, compute, or downstream APIs.

maps

Turn Cave Map into an Interactive EDK Layer

Put caves on a map without maintaining a separate visualization index. EDK can return map-ready geometry, update results as the viewport changes, and combine the main layer with karst areas, trails, or custom data. Styling remains under the application’s control.

environmental screening

Use Caves in Environmental Screening

Intersect project footprints, parcels, corridors, or buffers with caves and surrounding environmental layers. EDK can combine geometry search with distance and overlap calculations, making cave API useful for early due diligence, permitting workflows, conservation analysis, and field planning.

access

Find Practical Access to Caves

Use roads, trailheads, parking, entrances, towns, or other access features to understand how people actually reach caves. EDK can pair feature search with route planning and nearby infrastructure so outdoor and field applications do not confuse the geographic feature itself with the point where access begins.

ai

Give AI Agents Real Caves Tools

Expose cave API, routing, map, and compute operations through MCP so an AI agent can perform geographic work instead of approximating it in language. The model can find caves, compare them with karst areas and trails, calculate proximity or access, and return structured results.

tiles

Stream Caves Map Data with Vector Tiles

Use vector tiles when a cave map needs to cover thousands or millions of features. EDK loads only the caves inside the visible map tiles, reducing browser payloads while preserving styling and interaction. The same layer can support local inspection, regional dashboards, and broader geographic coverage.

use cases

Caves Use Cases from Search to Analysis

Applications for caves range from recreation and trip planning to habitat research, environmental due diligence, and conservation mapping. EDK supports both sides: route-aware access for people and geometry-based analysis for professionals.

developers

A Developer Stack for Caves Search, Maps, and Analysis

EDK lets developers use caves as more than one endpoint. Search produces structured geography, maps and tiles render it, routing measures access, and Compute handles spatial relationships. The API, SDK, CLI, and MCP expose those capabilities for different parts of the stack.
