Geospatial Knowledge supporting Intelligence workflows

Query broadcasted news worldwide and visualize them using spatial aggregations.

This modern Python module represents an idiomatic client accessing the Geospatial Knowledge APIs being hosted on Rapid API Hub.

Why is it important?

Geospatial Knowledge refers to semantic information about specific locations on the Earth’s surface. It includes location-enabled things - not strings - like physical features of the landscape, the location of cities or in general human activities, and their spatial distribution. Various sources like satellite imagery, location-enabled datasets, and most important any location-enabled information in the context of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) are used to create Geospatial Knowledge. By analyzing location-enabled things an analyst is empowered to gain insights into various aspects of human activities.
