I had to make a whole API just to call it (which because its own SAAS). All just to bypass dumb google reviews. Google Maps and reviews send people to places optimized for tourists and good copywriters. To find actual local hole-in-the-walls algorithmically, I had to first build that api (called BWENDI), a "spatial gravity" engine using 100GB+ of tweaked OSM, GeoNames, and other proprietary data. Instead of aggregating reviews, it mathematically calculates foot-traffic, throughput, transaction stats, and economic criticality among other factors. Bwendi is A Python/Node ETL pipeline feeding an LMDB-backed context API. It uses a proprietary 1MB binary grid served via Cloudflare Workers for millisecond edge reads with near-zero overhead, hosted in Switzerland. This was done of course to get the purest location context around every street
