How Walkable

Use this when the user asks how walkable a place is, whether they could live there without a car, or which everyday places, such as groceries, cafés, schools and parks, are within walking distance of an address, neighbourhood, landmark or city anywhere in the world. Also use it to compare the walkability of places, calling it once per place. Returns a score from 0 (car-dependent) to 100 (daily errands need no car) with its label, points for each category with the nearest places and their walking times, street connectivity, and a link to an interactive map. For a ranked city, the score is the average across the 5 km around its busiest point, with its rank among large cities. Do not use for walking directions or routes, step counts or fitness, hiking trails, street safety, or transit and cycling scores. It rates only the place passed in and does not use the user's location.

get_walk_score

Use this when the user asks which cities are the most or least walkable, worldwide or in one country, such as "most walkable cities in the US" or "least walkable cities in Mexico". Lists cities of about 300,000 people or more with each city's score and rank. Do not use for one named city or neighbourhood; use get_walk_score for that. Cities with too little open map data, and those in mainland China, South Korea and Russia, are not ranked.
