Tools

• get_place

  Fetch one place’s full record by slug (preferred, e.g. "neuschwanstein-castle") or exact name: coordinates, founding year, worldwide fame rank and tier, short description, photo URL, Wikipedia and Wikidata links, and a deep link that opens it on the map. Unsure of the slug? Call search_places first.

  shallow
• get_statistics

  Headline statistics computed live from the atlas: totals by kind, top countries, fame-tier sizes, dated-entry stats, geographic extremes and the most famous place. The source for aggregate claims like "how many castles are on Detourmap" or "which country has the most notable places".

  shallow
• list_countries

  Every country in the atlas with its place count, most first — answers "which country has the most notable places". Countries with eight or more places include a browsable index page URL.

  shallow
• list_kinds

  The layers Detourmap carries — archaeological and nature — with worldwide counts and a browsable index page for each. The atlas is cut to these kinds and holds nothing else.

  shallow
• places_near

  List notable places within a radius of a WGS84 coordinate, most famous first (rank order), each with distance_km — the direct answer to "what is worth visiting near <place>?". Radius defaults to 50 km (max 500). Geocode the location yourself, then call this with its latitude/longitude. Filter by kind to answer e.g. "waterfalls near Zurich".

  shallow
• random_place

  One random place with its full record — deliberately biased toward the little-known long tail, like the site’s own "Surprise me" button. Optionally limit by country and/or kind. Great for discovery and "place of the day" features.

  shallow
• search_places

  Search 39,832 notable places worldwide by name (accent- and case-insensitive substring match): archaeological and nature. Optionally filter by country (name or ISO code) and kind. Results come best-match-first, then by fame; each carries coordinates, fame rank/tier and links to the map and Wikipedia. If nothing matches, retry with a shorter fragment.

  shallow
• top_places

  The most famous places worldwide, in one country, or of one kind — ordered by Detourmap fame rank (derived from Wikipedia language coverage; rank 1 is the most famous). The direct answer to "most famous <kind> in <country>" and "what are the must-sees in <country>".
