MSCX - Multi Scale City eXplorer
"Well located", "Location is everything", "Location, location, location !"... We've all heard those popular sayings, but how do you actually measure location or compare locations ? More than that, how do you compare tens of thousands of locations in less than one second ?
Using big data analytics and high performance computing, we decompose cities in base layers that can be quicly recombined and interpolated, for fast and high volume user queries.
MSCX provides a fast and personalized Location Scoring API, to help you compare different locations in a city based on end user-selected criteria.
The Location Scoring API enables you to rank thousands of location-based listings on the fly (real estate ads, hotels, B&Bs) more accurately, and the map quickly highlights local hotspots in a new city. The score depends on the selected scale (places are compared with locations nearby), and the order of selected amenities (higher = more important)
Humans : On the Home page, drag and drop your favorite categories, zoom in and out to visually identify hotspots at different scales.
Developers : On the API page, you will find examples of how to use our Location Scoring API (/score and /score_bulk APIs). The /score API returns a unique score for each point on the map, and the /score_bulk quickly returns the score for a high number of points.
