--- name: broadbandmap-cell-coverage description: "PRELIMINARY/ITERATING SKILL (v0.x) - Query BroadbandMap-style public APIs for cellular coverage at a location, normalize results, and return a concise human summary plus raw JSON. Use when a user asks about cell coverage quality/availability for a specific address, city, or lat/lon and wants provider/technology details." --- # BroadbandMap Cell Coverage > **Status:** Preliminary skill (v0.x). This is an intentionally small first release and is expected to evolve quickly. Use this skill to answer: “How good is cell coverage here?” for a specific location. ## Quick workflow 1. Resolve location to coordinates (lat/lon). 2. Run `scripts/cell_coverage_lookup.py` to call the coverage API. 3. Summarize key results: - top carriers - network tech (4G/5G) - confidence/quality fields if present 4. Include caveats when API fields are missing or endpoint behavior is unknown. ## Run the script ```bash python3 scripts/cell_coverage_lookup.py --lat 39.7392 --lon -104.9903 ``` Default endpoint used by this skill: - `GET /api/v1/location/cell?lat={lat}&lng={lng}` - Optional filters: `network` (`att|verizon|t-mobile|us-cellular|dish|gci|cellcom|c-spire`), `tech` (`4g|5g`) Address mode (uses OpenStreetMap Nominatim geocoding first): ```bash python3 scripts/cell_coverage_lookup.py --address "Denver, CO" ``` Optional overrides and filters: ```bash python3 scripts/cell_coverage_lookup.py \ --lat 39.7392 --lon -104.9903 \ --network verizon \ --tech 5g \ --format report ``` Advanced endpoint overrides: ```bash python3 scripts/cell_coverage_lookup.py \ --lat 39.7392 --lon -104.9903 \ --base-url "https://broadbandmap.com" \ --endpoint "/api/v1/location/cell" \ --param-lat lat --param-lon lng \ --api-key "$BROADBANDMAP_API_KEY" ``` ## Output contract The script prints JSON by default with: - `input`: address/lat/lon used - `request`: final URL and query params - `response`: parsed API JSON (or raw body) - `summary`: best-effort normalized fields (`providers`, `technologies`, `notes`) - `errors`: any recoverable errors Use `--format report` for a concise human-readable output. ## Example commands ```bash # Basic lookup by address python3 scripts/cell_coverage_lookup.py --address "Austin, TX" --format report # Filter to one network and 5G only python3 scripts/cell_coverage_lookup.py --address "Seattle, WA" --network verizon --tech 5g --format report # Raw JSON for automation/pipelines python3 scripts/cell_coverage_lookup.py --lat 34.0522 --lon -118.2437 --format json ``` ## Known limitations - This skill is a preliminary v0.x release and will be iterated/enhanced. - API is alpha and may change schema/limits without notice. - Default public limit is low (~60 requests/hour/IP). - Coverage maps are modeled estimates and may differ from real-world signal. ## Response style When replying to users: - Start with a one-paragraph answer. - Then list providers/technologies in bullets. - End with one caveat sentence: coverage maps are estimates and real-world signal may vary. ## references/ Read `references/api-notes.md` when endpoint details need adjustment. ## Links - Full coverage map: https://broadbandmap.com/coverage - Developer resources: https://broadbandmap.com/developers
