Look up a US city or town by name (free, no key). Returns matches with their census place GEOID and centre point (lon/lat). The entry point: feed a GEOID to blocks_in_area, or a centre to walkability_…

get_catalog

List the travel modes and the destination-type taxonomy (free, no key). Use it to resolve type names to the numeric ids the other tools take. Modes are walk, bike, transit — there is no drive mode.
