Developers / Open API

Turn disaster data into one API call.

The geoBingAn open API serves disaster-response data as GeoJSON over standard HTTP — built on the 4W international standard, ready to drop into Leaflet, MapLibre, or any GeoJSON-aware map.

Why geoBingAn API

Why build on geoBingAn

A disaster-response data backbone designed for interoperability, governance, and real-time situational awareness.

GeoJSON-native by design

Every response is valid GeoJSON. No transforms, no glue code — pipe it straight into your map.

4W international standard

Reports follow the Who / What / Where / When humanitarian standard for clean cross-organisation exchange.

EMIC government integration

Built to interoperate with EMIC and public-sector disaster systems for official data exchange.

Multi-tenant architecture

Tenant-isolated data. Each organisation gets its own scoped Tenant ID and token.

Real-time push

Live push delivers field reports to your application the moment they arrive.

AI-assisted analysis

Built-in AI helps triage, classify, and summarise incoming reports at scale.

Seven report types

Seven report types, one schema

Every phase of the disaster cycle, modelled as a typed GeoJSON feature.

01

Pre-disaster preparedness

Readiness checks, drills, and resource staging before an event.

02

Environmental survey

Baseline field surveys of terrain, infrastructure, and hazards.

03

Disaster status

Live situation reports of an unfolding event.

04

Triage & first aid

Casualty triage and emergency medical reporting.

05

Damage assessment

Post-event structural and infrastructure damage surveys.

06

Resource coordination

Matching needs to relief supplies and logistics.

07

Shelter management

Shelter occupancy, capacity, and evacuee tracking.

Quick start

Three steps to your first map

  1. 01

    Request API access

    Get your Tenant ID and API token from the team.

  2. 02

    Call over standard HTTP

    Every response comes back as GeoJSON.

  3. 03

    Load into any map

    Drop it into Leaflet, MapLibre, or any GeoJSON-aware map.

A single authenticated request returns a GeoJSON FeatureCollection:
GET /api/v2/{tenant}/reports
Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>

{
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [
    {
      "type": "Feature",
      "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [121.5654, 25.0330] },
      "properties": {
        "report_type": "disaster_status",
        "what": "Flooding",
        "where": "Zhongshan Dist., Taipei",
        "when": "2026-06-13T09:24:00+08:00",
        "who": "field_team_07",
