Server instructions

Read-only tools over FilmMap: 15,148 real filming locations, plus 106 whole countries or regions that carry nothing but video-game settings, for 12,772 films, series and games across 162 countries. The backbone is "filming location" (P915) statements on Wikidata joined to each place's coordinates and Wikipedia article; some records additionally carry places named in the production's own English Wikipedia article, ALWAYS in fields prefixed wiki_ and never merged with the statements — quote those as "per Wikipedia". Nothing is scraped from listicles and nothing is generated. TWO RULES WHEN YOU QUOTE THIS DATA. (1) Video games are placed by where they are SET (P840), because a game is filmed nowhere — every record carries a "relation" field saying "filmed at" or "set in", and calling a game's place a filming location is a false claim. (2) This atlas records that a production filmed at a place and stops there: which scene was shot where is NOT in the data, so never assign one. Gaps are reported honestly rather than filled — where Wikidata knows only a country, the answer says so. Use where_was_it_filmed for the main question, what_was_filmed_here for the inverse, locations_near for "what was filmed near me", search_productions / search_locations for lookups, top_locations and list_countries for coverage, and get_statistics for aggregate claims. Every result links its page on https://thefilmmap.com.

Known tools 8

where_was_it_filmed

The main tool.

Inferred read-only

search_productions

Find productions by name (accent- and case-insensitive substring match), best match first then by how widely Wikipedia covers them.

Inferred read-only

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.

Inferred read-only

search_locations

Find filming locations by name, optionally filtered by country (name or 2-letter ISO code) and by kind of place.

Inferred read-only

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?

Inferred read-only

top_locations

The atlas ranked, worldwide or inside one country or one kind of place.

Inferred read-only

list_countries

Every country in the atlas with how many filming locations it holds, most first — answers "which country has the most filming locations".

Inferred read-only

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.

Inferred read-only
