Storm address map
A map of reported and radar-detected storm addresses in one county, one peril at a time.
PythonFlaskLeaflet
What it does
A page with a map and a list. Your server asks the API for Past Storm Leads by Address in a county for one peril and hands them to the browser as JSON. The key stays on your server, never in the page.
- Run the free preview first and show the user the price before any paid pull.
- Cache results on your side. Repeat map views should not bill again.
API calls
Set your key once: export TFX_KEY=tfx_live_.... Free previews need no key.
Free preview: counts and price first
curl "https://data.truefixr.com/v1/data?dataset=storms&county=Dallas&state=TX&peril=HAIL"
Paid pull: the address records
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TFX_KEY" "https://data.truefixr.com/v1/data?dataset=storms&county=Dallas&state=TX&peril=HAIL&addresses=true&limit=500"
Code (Python)
Cut down on purpose. Print the real response keys on your first call before you map fields.

import requests
from flask import Flask, jsonify, request

r.raise_for_status()
