get_bywayFull detail for one scenic byway or regional route: designation, states or country, length, scenic lookouts on the route, and itineraries that ride it.
Inputs: slug
get_itineraryA classic road-trip itinerary: waypoints, states, and the scenic byways along the route.
Inputs: slug
get_placeEverything the Byway atlas holds on one place: its own description, the records it traces to (OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, Wikidata), reconciled public records (GNIS, National Register), the scenic byways that pass near it, and the nearest ver
Inputs: url, kind, slug
places_along_routeAtlas inventory along a routed drive: every place of a kind within a band of the corridor between two points. This returns the raw record, not a plan — to plan a drive with stops chosen for the traveler, use plan_drive. One limit, stated: g
Inputs: origin, destination, kind, bandMi, limit
places_on_bywayAtlas places along one scenic byway: every place of a kind within a band of the drawn route, nearest to the road first, each marked whether it sits on the byway itself or is a detour off it. Only routes with drawn geometry can answer. This
Inputs: byway, kind, bandMi, limit
plan_drivePlan a scenic drive with the Byway engine: real verified stops, honest timing, official scenic byways. Origin and destination are place names — the tool resolves each to the closest matching real place. budget_min is the whole time window (
Inputs: origin, destination, budget_min, depart_at, interests, pace
search_bywaysSearch scenic byways and signed routes — the US federal roster plus regional routes (Québec, France, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, New Zealand today; growing). Filter by name, US state, or ISO-2 country. US byways carry byway.
Inputs: query, state, country, limit
search_destinationsFind US destination cities by name or state, with the day trip around each one: the scenic byways, national parks, public land units and campgrounds Byway's registries place within 30 miles. Only cities with a proven weave are listed — ever
Inputs: q, state, limit
search_lookoutsScenic lookouts (viewpoints) along a specific byway, or across a US state. Every lookout is a real, verified place — coverage is growing.
Inputs: byway, state, limit
search_placesSearch the Byway atlas of typed places — waterfalls, hot springs, lighthouses, covered bridges, historic sites, beaches, peaks, rest areas, ghost towns, museums and attractions. Locate by US state (which also needs a kind), by a point and r
