About
This Commons feed reads place and boundary context from OpenStreetMap's Overpass API and the US Census APIs: what surrounds a site, which administrative areas contain it, and coarse demographic context for the area a site serves. It is the difference between dispatching to an address and dispatching to a place you understand.
Both upstreams are free and public. Lookups are cached and rate-respectful, and every derived fact carries its source, so a routing decision can cite the map data it stood on.
Highlights
- Free public sources, no key required
- Every derived fact cites its map or Census source
- Site context for dispatch and routing decisions

Authentication
None. Overpass and Census APIs are free and public; Fibric respects their published rate limits.
What it reads
- Nearby places and infrastructure around each site from OpenStreetMap
- Administrative boundaries and containment for each site
- Census area context for the regions your sites serve
What it can do
This is a sensing source: it reads, it does not write. Operators act through the write-capable connectors alongside it.
How it works
1
Sense
Nearby places and infrastructure around each site from OpenStreetMap.
2
Reason
Operators reason over this connector's signals next to the rest of your stack, so decisions are grounded in the same records you run on.
3
Act
Nothing. This is a sensing source; operators act through the write-capable connectors alongside it.
Pricing
Free, part of the Commons
Commons signal feeds are free with every Fibric plan. The upstream data is public; Fibric adds the governance: provenance on every event, deduplication, and receipts when an operator acts on it. You pay for operators, never for signals.

Support and resources
Supported by the people who built it
This signal feed is developed, run, and supported by the same Fibric team. Support starts during onboarding with a named deployment engineer and doesn't hand you off afterward.

Exception Routing
Clears the exception before it stalls the line, rerouting work and dispatching the fix the moment flow breaks on the floor.

Bring Places & Geo Context into your early-access deployment
Early access means a deployment engineer wires this with you, and it runs propose-only until you approve live actions.
