8 tools

• where_was_it_filmed

  The main tool. Give a film or television title and get every place Wikidata records it as filmed at, with coordinates, plus the countries it records too coarsely to place. Covers 23,531 productions across 31,111 places. Two things to carry into any answer you write. First, video

• search_productions

  Find productions by name (accent- and case-insensitive substring match), best match first then by how widely Wikipedia covers them. Filter by kind: film, tv, game or anime. Use it when you are unsure of a title before calling where_was_it_filmed. Games and anime are placed by whe

• what_was_filmed_here

  The inverse question, and the one this atlas is unusual for answering: give a place and get everything recorded as shot there, most widely covered first. Accepts a slug (preferred, e.g. "skellig-michael") or a name. Each result carries `relation`, because a video game or an anime

• search_locations

  Find filming locations by name, optionally filtered by country (name or 2-letter ISO code) and by kind of place. Results are ordered by fame rank, which is driven by the most widely covered production shot there rather than by the place itself.

• locations_near

  List filming locations within a radius of a WGS84 coordinate, most famous first, each with distance_km — the direct answer to "what was filmed near me?" and to set-jetting itineraries. Radius defaults to 50 km (max 500). Geocode the place yourself, then call this with its latitud

• top_locations

  The atlas ranked, worldwide or inside one country or one kind of place. Order is fame rank, which comes from the most widely covered production shot there — so rank 1 is the place the most famous production used, not the place with the most credits. Sort by `productions` instead

• list_countries

  Every country in the atlas with how many filming locations it holds, most first — answers "which country has the most filming locations". Countries with a browsable page carry its URL. Coverage reflects what Wikidata records, which is uneven and skewed to Europe and North America

• get_statistics

  Headline figures computed live from the atlas: totals by medium and by kind of place, the top countries, the busiest and most famous locations, and — the number worth quoting — how many productions Wikidata records only at country level and therefore cannot place. The source for
