# Bee Maps

> For the complete API reference with request/response examples, see [llms-full.txt](https://beemaps.com/llms-full.txt).

> Bee Maps is a physical AI data platform that delivers fresh street-level imagery, map features, and AI event videos through APIs — powered by the world's largest decentralized dashcam network (Hivemapper). 719M+ km mapped, 37% global road coverage, 22M unique km.

Bee Maps turns a planetary-scale network of purpose-built dashcams into structured, queryable data for mapmakers, autonomous vehicle developers, fleet operators, and AI/ML teams. Data is collected passively by distributed drivers, processed through on-device and cloud ML pipelines, and delivered via REST APIs.

Key customers include HERE Technologies, Lyft, NBC Universal, Mapbox, Volkswagen, and other enterprise mapping and mobility companies.

## Data Products

- [Street-Level Imagery API](https://docs.beemaps.com/platform/road-intelligence-api): Query geolocated dashcam frames by point, polygon, or linestring — returns image URLs, timestamps, GPS coordinates, and IMU data. $0.005/image.
- [Map Features API](https://docs.beemaps.com/platform/road-intelligence-api): ML-detected road objects (speed limit signs, stop signs, fire hydrants, traffic lights, lane markings) with confidence scores and coordinates. US, EU, UK coverage. $3/1K detections.
- [AI Event Videos API](https://docs.beemaps.com/platform/road-intelligence-api): Video clips of driving events (speeding, harsh braking, swerving, tailgating) with synchronized sensor data. $6/video.
- [Burst (On-Demand Mapping)](https://docs.beemaps.com/platform/road-intelligence-api): Request fresh imagery for specific locations — network devices are dispatched to capture it. Pay only on success. $1/location.

## Edge AI

- [Bee Edge AI](https://docs.beemaps.com/platform/bee-edge-ai): Deploy custom Python ML workloads directly on Bee cameras. Access 12.3MP camera, stereo depth, GPS, IMU, and 5.1 TOPS NPU for on-device inference. Over-the-air deployment to devices worldwide.
  - Own Devices: $15/device/month (includes 1 GB data), $3/GB overage.
  - Network Devices: $0.02/km (includes 5 MB/km data), $0.05/10 MB overage.

## Hardware
