eYKON Intelligence

Query AIS vessel positions within a geographic area and time window. Returns vessel name, MMSI, type, position, speed, heading, destination.

Query ADS-B aircraft positions within a geographic area.

Query armed-conflict events (GDELT-backed, with ACLED fallback when licensed) by region / date / event type / actor.

Query oil refineries from OpenStreetMap (canonical refinery tags only — petroleum_refinery, oil_refinery, refinery). ~700 facilities globally, each with name, operator, product, capacity (when tagged), country, city. Use for questions like "refineries in Saudi Arabia", "oil refining capacity on the Gulf Coast", "European refineries near Russian crude pipelines". Pass country to slice (ISO2 code or country name).

Query mineral deposits from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System (MRDS — public-domain US Government, ~304k records globally, archival snapshot frozen at 2011). Each row carries site name, development status (Producer / Past Producer / Prospect / Occurrence / Plant), commodities (commod1/2/3 + commodities array), country, state, deposit type. Default returns only Producer / Past Producer / Plant rows with a known commod1 (significant sites); pass include_minor=true for prospects and occurrences. Use for questions like "lithium mines in Chile", "rare-earth deposits worldwide", "active copper producers in Peru". Pass commodity to filter on the commodities[] array (case-sensitive, e.g. "Copper", "Lithium", "Rare Earths").

Query unit-level power plants from the Global Energy Monitor — Global Integrated Power Tracker (GIPT). ~127k operating units worldwide spanning coal, oil/gas, nuclear, geothermal, bioenergy, utility-scale solar, wind, and hydropower. Each row carries plant name, fuel type, capacity (MW), status, start year, country, owner. Use for questions like "nuclear plants in France above 1 GW", "coal capacity in India", "operating bioenergy plants in Brazil". Pass include_minor=true to bypass the operating-only filter (e.g. to include proposed/retired). Pass fuel to slice to a single fuel_type.

Query gas pipelines (GEM GGIT), oil/NGL pipelines (GEM GOIT), and LNG terminals (GEM GGIT) in one call. Returns a mixed list — each row has infra_subtype=pipeline_gas|pipeline_oil|lng_terminal so you can disambiguate. Pipeline rows carry start/end country, length, capacity (bcm/y for gas, BOEd or raw bpd for oil), status, owner, route accuracy. LNG terminals carry facility_type=import|export, capacity in mtpa, country. Use for questions like "Russian gas pipelines into Europe", "LNG export terminals in Qatar", "Trans-Alaska oil pipeline status", "Keystone XL". Pass fuel=gas or fuel=oil to slice to one type. Pass include_minor=true to bypass the operating-only default.

Query airports from OurAirports. Default returns the ~7,500 commercially-significant airports (large airports + medium airports with scheduled service); pass include_minor=true for the full ~85k including small airfields, heliports, etc. Each row carries name, type, IATA/ICAO codes, country, municipality, elevation, scheduled_service. Use for questions like "airports near recent conflict events", "ICAO code for Heathrow", "all scheduled-service airports in Ukraine".

Query commercial seaports from the NGA World Port Index (~3,800 ports worldwide). Each row carries port name, country, harbor size (Large/Medium/Small/Very Small), harbor type, shelter rating, channel depth in metres, repair facilities. Use for questions like "ports near Bab-el-Mandeb", "deepwater ports in West Africa", "all large harbors in the Mediterranean". Pass harbor_size to slice to a single tier.

Query current weather conditions for a specific location (Open-Meteo).

Query NASA FIRMS satellite thermal anomalies (VIIRS 375m + MODIS 1km, near-real-time, ~3h latency). Two modes. mode="facilities" (default) reads the pre-aggregated per-facility-per-day rollup — use it for facility-centric questions ("thermal anomalies at Russian refineries this week", "which Gulf refineries lit up", "anything at the Ryazan refinery"). Filter by country, facility_type (refinery | power_plant), facility_name, days. Returns per facility: total detections, max FRP (fire radiative power, MW), nearest detection distance in km, and the monitoring radius used. mode="raw" reads individual detections inside a lat/lon box — use it for geographic questions not anchored to a monitored facility. CRITICAL INTERPRETATION RULES — a FIRMS detection is a SATELLITE HOT PIXEL, nothing more. It

Query NASA Black Marble night-lights (VIIRS VNP46A2, ~500 m): moonlight/atmosphere-corrected nighttime radiance sampled nightly at every FIRMS-watched facility, plus significance events judged against each facility's OWN clear-night baseline. Two modes. mode="events" (default) reads SITE-LEVEL significance events — went_dark_lights (a habitually-lit facility dark across several consecutive CLEAR nights: the outage signal), surge (materially brighter than its own norm), first_light (a reliably-dark facility lights up). Use it for "which power stations went dark last week", "unusual lighting activity in Kuwait". mode="radiance" reads the per-facility nightly radiance rollup — use it for baseline questions ("how bright is Bandar Abbas at night", "clear-night trend at Az Zour"). CRITICAL INTER
