where_was_it_filmed — The main tool.
search_productions — Find productions by name (accent- and case-insensitive substring match), best match first then by how widely Wikipedia covers them.
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.
search_locations — Find filming locations by name, optionally filtered by country (name or 2-letter ISO code) and by kind of place.
top_locations — The atlas ranked, worldwide or inside one country or one kind of place.
list_countries — Every country in the atlas with how many filming locations it holds, most first — answers "which country has the most filming locations".
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.
