BoundingBox FAQs

Question 1

What is BoundingBox and what is its primary purpose?

Accepted Answer

BoundingBox is a zero-config geospatial toolkit specifically designed for AI agents and Large Language Models (LLMs). It empowers them to parse, convert, query, and aggregate spatial data, making complex geographic operations accessible out of the box.

Question 2

How does BoundingBox integrate with OpenStreetMap (OSM) data?

Accepted Answer

BoundingBox offers tools to execute OpenStreetMap Overpass QL queries, find correct OSM tags for various categories, and aggregate query results into Uber H3 hexagonal cells for spatial density analysis within a given bounding box.

Question 3

What kind of coordinate conversions does BoundingBox handle?

Accepted Answer

BoundingBox can convert and project bounding boxes across 6 input formats (like WKT, GeoJSON, raw coordinates), 9 output formats, and over 3,900 EPSG coordinate systems, ensuring compatibility with diverse geospatial APIs.

Question 4

Can I visualize the geographic data processed by BoundingBox?

Accepted Answer

Yes, BoundingBox automatically includes a shareable, interactive map link with every response. This allows users to visually verify all processed geographic data and bounding boxes directly on an interactive map.

Question 5

What is H3 indexing and how is it used in BoundingBox?

Accepted Answer

H3 indexing generates Uber H3 hexagonal cell indices covering any given bounding box at a specified resolution. BoundingBox uses this for spatial data aggregation, such as binning OpenStreetMap query results into H3 cells for density analysis.
