Show HN: We're making our geolocation mapping API public

Radar Chat is a platform for making custom, interactive maps. These maps can be opened in the Radar Chat mobile app, a web app, and can even be embedded in third party websites via iframe.

The HTTP API lets developers create and modify data in a programmatic fashion. After writing over thirty pages of content and polishing the rough edges, we're excited to now make the API public!

Here's an example of what you can do with it: Make a new map, create a bot that polls the USGS earthquake API for new earthquakes, then post earthquake data to that map. That map can then be shared with others. Using the Radar Chat API you can even lookup earthquakes within a certain radius of your home. Here's an example endpoint that does just this using the #earthquakes map:

We'd love to hear any feedback you might have on our API, or if you have any ideas on how you'd use it.
