`get_statistic`One statistic for one country, US state, US county or congressional district from Mappit's Map Apps data (World Bank, BLS, BEA, Census, CDC, UCDP, UNHCR, FEC, MIT Election Lab and more): the value with its period, its rank, the US figure, the source and licence, and the recent series.

`get_story`One story in full: headline, summary, publisher and article link, publication time, where it happened, how Mappit found it (found_by: its own crawler or an AI search vendor), the storyline it belongs to, and the other outlets that carried the same story (also_carried_by). Pass a story id from another Mappit tool.

`list_map_apps`Mappit's Map Apps (its Layer Apps): statistics painted on the map — world and US economy, people, the environment and energy (temperature, the electricity mix, grid carbon), health, conflict and crisis, US elections and Mappit's own news atlas. Lists each app's views with the indicator code, levels, time grain, source, licence and a link that opens it. A view that draws places (nuclear reactors, data centers, AI campuses) or dated events names that dataset in events; one with no indicator (grain "site" or "event") has no statistic to fetch, so give its link. Use it to learn the indicator codes get_statistic and rank_regions take; a news-topic view's code carries its topic ("news_topic_share:world-conflict").
