Tools

Tool	Description	Behaviour
add_project_data	Add data to a project from a public download link (GeoPackage, zipped Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML, CSV with coordinates or GeoTIFF, up to 200 MB): your own model's output, a survey, a map. Side effect: the file is downloaded, stored and added to the project, where its team can see it; nothing is deleted or overwritten. Biohotspot then checks it; follow its status with list_project_data and finish anything it asks for in the project's Uploads tab. Needs owner or editor rights.	Changes data
find_layers	Find Biohotspot map layers by words (e.g. 'seagrass', 'coral bleaching') among its 1,600+ world layers. Returns ids, names, categories and licences (25 by default); vector layers can then be read with get_features. Read-only.	Read-only
get_features	Get a vector layer's features as GeoJSON from Biohotspot's OGC API, optionally inside a bounding box [west, south, east, north]; up to `limit` features (500 by default, 5,000 at most). Collection ids: find_layers ids, or exmouth_<dataset> for the example project's open layers. Read-only.	Read-only
get_marine_park	Get the facts about an Australian marine park from its Biohotspot page: area, IUCN categories and named zones (CAPAD 2024), habitats, blue carbon and pressures measured inside it, each with its source and licence, and the page's address. Give part of the park's name; `state` (wa, qld, nsw, vic, sa, tas, nt, com for Commonwealth waters) narrows it. Several matches return the list to choose from; parks under 10 km² or without enough open data have no page. Read-only.	Read-only
get_project	Get one of your projects: its area (GeoJSON), its data check (each data type covered, partial or missing) and your role. Read-only.	Read-only
list_project_data	List the data a project's team added, with each file's status (receiving, checked, ready, failed). Read-only.	Read-only
list_projects	List your Biohotspot projects and the ones shared with you: name, area, your role and how complete their data is. Read-only.	Read-only
look_here	List every Biohotspot map layer with data within `km` of a point on the sea (a place being studied, not the user's location): habitats, wildlife, human uses, protected areas and world ocean maps, with a few values from each. Read-only. Use it to learn what a place holds.	Read-only
look_in_area	List every Biohotspot map layer with data inside a polygon on the sea, with a few values from each. Read-only.	Read-only
search_papers	Search Biohotspot's research library (more than 5,200 papers and reports on coasts and marine habitats) for the words; returns titles, years and DOI links where known (10 by default, 50 at most). Read-only.	Read-only
simulate	Run the Marxan optimiser on the example project's planning data (Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia only): the cheapest set of planning squares that meets every habitat target. `protect` = planning-square ids always included (understand_area returns them as `pus`); `target_pct` = one target for every habitat, in %. Takes a few seconds; returns the summary, each habitat's result and the best solution. Nothing is saved to your projects.	Read-only
understand_area	Check an area against its protection targets: which habitats it holds, how much of each, what is already protected, and how far each habitat is from its target. Give a polygon, or a point and radius_km. Outside Biohotspot's local planning data the answer comes from world maps and is marked rough: true. Read-only; nothing is saved.	Read-only
