EMBEDEARTH / SEARCH API
River Search API
Search river networks and analyze crossings, dams, floodplains, settlements, protected areas, and infrastructure.
Query Rivers as Spatial Data, Not Just Text
EDK turns rivers into queryable geographic features. Use a river API to find candidates by location and intent, not only exact names. Search across regions, radii, polygons, or the current viewport and receive data ready for GeoJSON, maps, ranking, or spatial analysis.
Use Rivers in Environmental Screening
Intersect project footprints, parcels, corridors, or buffers with rivers and surrounding environmental layers. EDK can combine geometry search with distance and overlap calculations, making river API useful for early due diligence, permitting workflows, conservation analysis, and field planning.
Build Rivers Products with the EDK API and SDK
Call river API from a backend, render results with the SDK, process large jobs through the CLI, or expose the same geography to agents through MCP. GeoJSON, routes, map layers, tiles, and Compute all work from the same EDK geographic model.
Give AI Agents Real Rivers Tools
Expose river 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 rivers, compare them with bridges and dams, calculate proximity or access, and return structured results.
Find Practical Access to Rivers
Use roads, trailheads, parking, entrances, towns, or other access features to understand how people actually reach rivers. 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.
Compute Crossings, Buffers and Downstream Relationships
Use EDK Compute for crossings, buffers and downstream relationships. Run nearest, distance, count-within, buffer, containment, intersection, density, or spatial joins directly against rivers. Return a score, geometry, ranked list, or map layer without copying the dataset into a separate GIS database first.
Rivers Use Cases from Search to Analysis
Applications for rivers 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.
Work with Real Rivers Geometry and Boundaries
Many rivers are areas or networks, not points. Preserve polygons, lines, extents, and boundaries so applications can test containment, overlap, area, adjacency, and distance correctly. river GIS data becomes far more useful when the underlying geometry can be computed against instead of reduced to a centroid.
