DeepEarth API · v1

The temporal index
of the planet, as an endpoint.

One coordinate. Any moment in 540 million years. A defensible reading of climate, geography and biosphere — returned as JSON.

I · Canonical request

Ask any place what it was.

The same call powers museum installations, documentary research, climate dashboards, and education curricula. One endpoint. Stable across millions of locations.
