4M Analytics

aid: 4m-analytics
name: 4M Analytics
description: 4M Analytics is a utility AI mapping company that builds the "Google Maps of underground infrastructure." Its
  platform compiles millions of scattered public utility records into a single, validated subsurface map, using an AI conflation
  engine, satellite imagery, computer-vision object detection, and geospatial experts to identify known and unknown underground
  utilities before design and construction. Teams use 4M to speed utility record research, reduce excavation risk, and avoid
  costly conflicts during planning, pre-construction, and design. The platform exposes utility data through the 4M web application
  (4Map) and a WFS (OGC Web Feature Service) API that streams line and point utility features directly into GIS and CAD tools
  (ArcGIS, QGIS, AutoCAD, Autodesk, Bentley), with exports to PDF, SHP, KML, GPKG, DWG, DXF, and DGN. Founded in 2019 (Austin,
  TX and Tel Aviv) and backed by Insight Partners, 4M is added to the API Evangelist network and enriched here.

- name: 4M WFS API
  description: 'The 4M WFS API is an OGC Web Feature Service that streams 4M''s validated subsurface utility data (line and
    point features) in real time into GIS platforms such as ArcGIS and QGIS, eliminating manual file downloads. Access is
    admin-gated: an organization admin requests access from their 4M Customer Success Manager, then generates an API key from
    within the 4Map application (initials menu, "Generate API Key"), optionally naming the link, setting an expiration, and
    choosing a data scope (all projects or a single folder). Generating the key returns a WFS endpoint URL for direct use
    in the GIS client. The base host and per-key endpoint are provisioned per organization and are not publicly published,
    so no fabricated baseURL is recorded here.'
