4M Analytics

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.

4M Analytics publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Geospatial, GIS, Mapping, and Utilities.

4M Analytics’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 8 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/4m-analytics: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?

  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.'
