get_bounds
Convert bounding box coordinates or location text into standardized formats for geospatial applications. Parse WKT, GeoJSON, raw coordinates, or ogrinfo extents to extract bounding boxes in various output formats.
Instructions
Get converted coordinates for a bounding box or text location search. Supports parsing WKT, GeoJSON, ogrinfo extent, and raw coordinate strings. If MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN is not set, you MUST provide explicit coordinates via 'bbox'.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| location | No | A text location to search for (e.g. 'New York City'). Requires MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN env var. Either 'location' or 'bbox' MUST be provided. | |
| bbox | No | The geometry to parse. Can be a raw bounding box string ('lat1,lng1,lat2,lng2'), a WKT polygon/linestring/point, a GeoJSON payload, or an `ogrinfo` extent block. The Minimum Bounding Rectangle (MBR) encapsulating the geometry will be extracted. Either 'location' or 'bbox' MUST be provided. | |
| epsg | No | The projected EPSG code (e.g. '3857'). Defaults to '4326' (WGS84). Over 3,900 bundled projections; unknown codes are auto-fetched from epsg.io. | |
| format | No | Format of the output. Options: wkt, geojson-bbox, leaflet, overpass, ogc-bbox, kml, geojson-polygon, csv, stac-bbox. Default: csv. | |
| coord_order | No | Toggle between 'lng,lat' (default) and 'lat,lng' coordinate ordering in the formatted output. Useful for APIs that expect swapped coordinate orders. | |
| zoom | No | The map zoom level (0-22) used to calculate the map tile coordinates for the centroid. Defaults to 15. | |
| precision | No | The number of decimal places to output coordinate strings as (defaults to 6). |
