Street-Level Imagery

Query geolocated dashcam frames by point, polygon, or linestring. Returns signed image URLs, timestamps, GPS coordinates with accuracy metrics, and synchronized IMU sensor data.

$0.005per imagePOST/imagery/latest/polyGlobal — 37% of world roads

Response data

  • Signed image URL (temporary)
  • Timestamp (ISO 8601)
  • GPS position with accuracy (HDOP, PDOP, EPH)
  • IMU data (accelerometer + gyroscope)
  • Device type, sequence ID, frame index
  • Image dimensions (width, height)

AI Event Videos

Search and retrieve AI-detected driving events with synchronized video, GPS traces, and high-frequency IMU sensor data. Filter by event type, date range, device, or geographic polygon.

$0.50per videoPOST/aievents/searchGET/aievents/{id}Global

Response data

  • Signed video URL (temporary)
  • Event type, timestamp, location
  • GNSS trace (~1Hz, lat/lon/alt)
  • IMU data (~100Hz, 6-axis)
  • Event-specific metadata
  • Pagination (total, limit, offset)

Road Detections

Query ML-detected road objects — speed limit signs, stop signs, fire hydrants, traffic lights, lane markings, turn restrictions — with confidence scores, geo-coordinates, and physical dimensions.

$3per 1K detectionsPOST/map-dataPOST/mapFeatures/polyUS, EU, UK

Response data

  • Feature class and unique ID
  • Position (lat, lon, azimuth)
  • Physical dimensions (height, width)
  • Properties (e.g. speed limit value, unit)
  • Confidence score (0–1)
  • First/last observed dates
curl -X POST 'https://beemaps.com/api/developer/map-data?apiKey=YOUR_KEY' \

Burst

Request fresh imagery for specific locations. Network devices in the area are dispatched to capture it. Pay only when the location is successfully mapped. Monitor status via polling or webhooks.

$1per locationPOST/burst/createGET/burstsGlobal (network-dependent)

Response data

  • Burst ID and status (active/expired/refunded)
  • GeoJSON boundary polygon
  • Valid from/until timestamps
  • Hit detection status and timestamp
  • Credits consumed
  • Device type filter
curl -X POST 'https://beemaps.com/api/developer/burst/create?apiKey=YOUR_KEY' \
