Introduction
OWLplaces.com has created digital twins for the entire world and provides access to this wealth of data via a RESTful API. Ratings from 1 to 5 stars and interactive maps are available for each of the parameters listed below, adding value to websites, real estate portals, and web applications. This data allows users to assess any listed property or area of interest worldwide, providing critical information to help find the best locations for carbon absorption, to live, and to build. It also enables developers to create desktop, web, and mobile applications to easily visualize our ratings and interactive maps.
