Population Density Data
Retrieve population density estimations for a specific area at the current or a future period of time
Overview
Real-time and future population density estimations via API
The Population Density Data API provides developers with powerful tools to access real-time and future population density estimations for specific geographic areas. Utilizing historical anonymized data from network-connected devices, this API delivers accurate insights that can enhance decision-making across various sectors, including urban planning, marketing, and resource allocation.
*This sandboxed version is limited to a geographic area and a limited period time.
How it works?
The API requester provides a geographical area and a period of time for wished population prediction data. In the response an array of population prediction records per geographical area (defined by approx 150*150 meters area) and 30 minutes time is provided. Each record provide a population density estimation.
With this API it is possible to draw population density map like this one below. On this diagram each little square has a resolution of 150 meters. The height & color of the bar represents the population density.
Benefits
- Simplified integration – A simple API enables developers to easily incorporate population density population data into their applications, eliminating the necessity for custom implementations for each telecommunications operator. This streamlines the development process and shortens the time to market.
- Access to network capability – The standardized API offers consistent access to a range of telecommunications capabilities, promoting uniformity and flexibility across various operators and markets. This approach enhances the user experience, ensuring reliability regardless of the telecommunications provider.
- Anonymized information – The strong anonymization procedure safeguards individual privacy entirely, preventing the tracking of specific mobile devices or persons within the network data
Use cases
- Urban Planning – Assist city planners in making informed decisions about infrastructure and resource allocation
- Emergency Services – Help first responders allocate resources efficiently during emergencies by understanding population
- distribution
- Marketing strategies – Enable businesses to target their campaigns more effectively based on population density trends
