POST /v1/predict
Why you need it

The problem this solves.

When seconds count, drawing search rings on paper costs daylight. predict is a single HTTP POST that gives the on-call search planner a probability surface in the response format their team already knows. Deterministic and reproducible, suitable for after-action reviews and methodological scrutiny.

What it does for you

What comes back in the response.

  • Scored H3 hex grid. Top 50 hexes by default; full grid via include_hexes: true.
  • Deterministic. The same inputs return the same surface, every time.
  • JSON-shaped response that drops into deck.gl, kepler.gl, QGIS, ArcGIS without transformation.
  • Standard POST + x-api-key. Use from Python, Node, Go, or any HTTP client.
  • Per-call audit logs available for incident review and FOI responses.
