Forecast how busy public businesses are world wide (API) https://besttime.app
Building a foot traffic API to see the busiest venues (bars, shops, museums, etc) in (your) worldwide neighborhood: https://besttime.app We are now busy adding more demographic data like age, male/female ratio, tourist level, etc
I made a (developers) tool/API to analyse visitor peaks of public business (restaurants, gyms, shops, etc) in whole areas.
You can filter business on the heatmap/ API on visitor peak intensity, location (e.g. neighbourhood), day, time range, business type (e.g. supermarket).
Using the API other developers can build cool innovate software. It might be useful to build some COVID-19 apps to avoid e.g. busy supermarkets.
I just posted it on product hunt. Now sure if I'm allowed to directly link it to PH. Otherwise I also a direct link below :-)
Similar to Google maps Popular times, but with more functionality
BestTime.app forecasts how busy public businesses will be. All you have to do is type the name and address of the public business. For each public business BestTime will try to forecast:
* how busy it will be per hour
* how busy it is now (live)
* list of the visitor peaks per day
* list of all busy hours
* list of all quiet hours
* at what time most people go and leave
* a week overview
* Dynamic data like (time remaining until next peak, or quiet hour)
* All data will be available through the Developers API
* create a dashboard overview with all analyses
Register for free to create a detailed dashboard for your favorite venue. Use the 'compare venues' demo without registration to compare the busyness of all your favorite places
You could use the tool to find popular bars for tonight ️, or see which gym ️ ️ in your neighborhood is the quietest. During COVID-19 the tool is useful to see when the supermarkets in your neighborhood are not too busy.
Who else could use this? - Marketing researchers - Websites with curated lists of bars (e.g. Best bars in New York City)
Please let me know if you have any feedback or (partnership) ideas for tools I can build on top of this API.
