EMBEDEARTH / SEARCH API

Library Search API

Find library branches and measure coverage around schools, neighborhoods, transit, and community services.

SEARCH WORKFLOW

From intent to results that remain useful in maps, routes, and spatial analysis.

core search

Libraries Search API Built for Geographic Queries

Use EDK as a library API for radius search, bounding boxes, polygons, viewports, and named places. Return coordinates, geometry, metadata, and map-ready results in one response. Developers can search libraries across a neighborhood or an entire region without maintaining a separate geospatial index.

use cases

What You Can Build with Libraries Data

Use civic amenity search for public directories, access studies, relocation tools, service-network planning, and civic dashboards. Pair libraries with schools, community centers, and travel-time catchments to understand not just where facilities are, but who can realistically reach them.

developers

Use Libraries from API, SDK, CLI, or MCP

Start with civic amenity search and add only the EDK primitives the product needs: geocoding, maps, routing, vector tiles, spatial compute, or MCP. Teams can keep one libraries model across browser experiences, backend services, pipelines, and AI workflows.

coverage

Measure Libraries Coverage and Service Gaps

Go beyond locating libraries. Build catchments around each facility, compare travel-time coverage, count population or neighborhoods inside those areas, and identify places with weak access. This is especially useful for healthcare, government, and planning teams using library API data for network design.

compute

Run Spatial Analysis Directly on Libraries

Move from library API results to analysis in the same workflow. Calculate branch coverage across population areas, compare candidates, create buffers, count related features, or intersect libraries with another layer. Compute outputs can feed ranking, screening, dashboards, or automated decisions.

context

Understand What Surrounds Each Library

Join libraries to schools, community centers, transit and other nearby geography. EDK can answer which services, amenities, infrastructure, or neighborhoods sit around a location, giving library API results richer context for relocation, planning, real estate, civic analysis, or consumer discovery.

ai

Give AI Agents Real Libraries Tools

Expose library 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 libraries, compare them with schools and community centers, calculate proximity or access, and return structured results.

maps

Build a Libraries Map from Live Geographic Queries

Render libraries as points, lines, polygons, clusters, or density layers depending on the source geometry. The map can re-query the visible bounds as users pan and zoom, then fetch nearby schools or community centers on selection. Search state and map state stay connected.
