Where films and TV were shot, and where games, anime and manga are set. Wikidata, read only, CC0.
Scored across 8 tools
The core pair (what_was_filmed_here vs where_was_it_filmed) is explicitly bidirectional and clearly delineated, and search_locations/search_productions target different entities. There is mild overlap among the location-listing tools (search_locations, top_locations, locations_near), which all return lists of places along different axes, but their descriptions make the distinguishing criterion (name match, rank, distance) clear enough.
All names are snake_case and readable, but three conventions are mixed: verb_noun (get_statistics, list_countries, search_locations), noun-first (locations_near, top_locations), and question phrasing (what_was_filmed_here, where_was_it_filmed). The question-style names are memorable but break any predictable pattern an agent could rely on.
Eight tools is well within the sweet spot, and each one covers a distinct access path: statistics, country index, geo radius, place search, production search, rankings, and the two directions of the place-production relation. Nothing looks redundant or padded.
For a read-only atlas the surface is strong: both lookup directions, name search on both entity types, proximity search, aggregates, and rankings are all present with no dead ends. Minor gaps remain, such as no direct get-by-id/slug detail for a production or country beyond what search and listing return, and no browse-by-kind or by-year enumeration.
Headline figures computed live from the atlas: totals by medium and by kind of place, the top countries, the busiest and the most famous locations, and how many productions Wikidata records only at country level and so cannot place.
Inputs: no named parameters.
Lists every country in the atlas with its number of filming locations, most first. Countries with a page on the site carry its URL. The counts reflect what Wikidata records, which is uneven and skewed to Europe and North America: they are records, not an inventory of world film production.
Inputs: no named parameters.
Lists the filming locations within a radius of a WGS84 coordinate, most famous first, each with its distance_km: what was filmed near a point. The radius defaults to 50 km (at most 500). Takes a latitude and a longitude in degrees; it does not look up place names.
Inputs: latitude (required), longitude (required), limit, category, +1 more.
Finds filming locations by name, optionally filtered by country (a name or a two letter ISO code) and by kind of place. Results are ordered by fame rank, which comes from the most widely covered production shot there rather than from the place itself.
Inputs: query (required), limit, country, category.
Finds productions by name, ignoring accents and case, best match first, then by how widely Wikipedia covers them. An optional filter by kind: film, tv, game, anime or manga. Each result carries its kind, its year and a relation field: films and series are placed where they were filmed, games, anime and manga where they are set.
Inputs: query (required), kind, limit.
Ranks the places in the atlas, worldwide or inside one country or one kind of place. The default order is fame rank, which comes from the most widely covered production shot there, so rank 1 is the place the most famous production used, not the place with the most credits. With sort set to productions the order is by number of productions (Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver).
Inputs: sort, limit, country, category.
Returns everything recorded as made at a place, most widely covered first. Takes the place as a slug (e.g. "skellig-michael") or as a name. Each result carries a relation field, because a video game, an anime or a manga tied to a place is set there, not filmed there.
Inputs: place (required), limit.
Returns every place recorded for a film, series, game, anime or manga, with coordinates, plus the countries recorded too coarsely to place. Covers 45,158 productions across 41,131 places. Films and series are placed where they were filmed (Wikidata P915). Video games, anime and manga are filmed nowhere, so they are placed where they are set (P840); the relation field of each record says which. A filled countries_only list means Wikidata records the production in those countries without a finer place. Places named only in the production's own Wikipedia article come in separate fields prefixed wiki_. The data records that a production was filmed at a place, not which scene was shot there.
Inputs: title (required), limit.
