EmbedEarth (E2)

EmbedEarth (E2) is the flagship spatial intelligence layer built by Outerview. Unlike traditional GIS tools that rely on static databases, E2 provides a live, semantic understanding of the physical world.

Core Capabilities

Real-time agent-based simulation
Natural language spatial queries
High-fidelity geofencing and polygon math

Authentication

Authentication for E2 is handled via the central Outerview Identity Provider. You must generate a secret key from your dashboard to sign your requests.
