The Exploration Data API

Programmatic and agentic access to the largest archive of sub-surface exploration documents – pre-processed, categorised and searchable spatially, by text, by document, by page and by image type, the same way geoscientists have worked for years.

What is the GeoClerk API

GeoClerk holds the largest archive of sub-surface exploration documents available anywhere. Every document is pre-processed and categorised, with its full text, pages, figures and images extracted and indexed, making the entire collection searchable by text, by document, by page, by image type, and spatially.

The GeoClerk API brings that same capability to your code and AI agents, so you can query and retrieve programmatically, without the manual steps.

Search the way you always have

Spatial, textual and image search, now over an API

The GeoClerk API supports the same search axes geoscientists use every day, and they all combine in a single query.
Search by location

Filter by geometry using GeoJSON across provinces, tenements, licence boundaries or any region you define.

Search by text
Full-text and keyword search with query-language support, across documents, pages, news and stories.
i
Search by document and page
Every document is broken down to page level, so results point to the exact page, not just the file.
Search by image type

Retrieve maps, cross-sections, photos, geophysics and other image types, filtering for exactly what your workflow needs.

Combine them all

Every axis works together. One query can return every lithium drill section within a defined polygon, mentioned since 2020.

What can you automate?

Stop doing manually what your code can do for you.

Here are four ways teams are putting the GeoClerk API to work.

Repetitive research tasks

Run the searches your team repeatson a schedule, with no human in the loop. Free your geoscientists for the work that actually needs them.

Internal newsletters and dashboards
Feed live exploration intelligence directly into the tools your organisation already uses. Keep every stakeholder current without the manual curation.
Data screening and review
Triage and surface relevant material at scale. Let the API do the heavy lifting before a geoscientist ever opens a document.
Greenfields investigation
Systematically scan regions, basins and commodities to find what others have missed. Cover more ground, faster.

Built for AI agents

Let your AI agents do the digging with agentic access

The GeoClerk API is designed for both programmatic and agentic use from the ground up. AI agents can call it directly as a tool, the same way a developer would, querying the archive, filtering by geometry and retrieving documents, pages, images and geochemistry as part of automated reasoning and retrieval workflows.

No more stopping at a web interface or waiting for a human to run a search. The agent can hit the archive mid-workflow, pull the data it needs and keep reasoning. Whether you are building a retrieval pipeline, wiring an LLM to live exploration data, or assembling a geoscience agent for internal use, the GeoClerk API is ready to be called as a tool.

What is in the archive?

One archive, every sub-surface discipline

Minerals
Exploration reports, drill results, resource estimates and technical studies across every major commodity and region.
Oil and gas
Wells, seismic, field reports and basin studies, all pre-processed and searchable to page and image level.
Geothermal
Exploration and resource reports covering geothermal projects and prospects worldwide.
Groundwater
Hydrogeological studies, bore logs and aquifer investigations, indexed and searchable alongside the rest of the archive.
Carbon storage
CCS and carbon sequestration studies, fully integrated into the same search and retrieval layer.
Content across disciplines

Iincludes exploration documents and reports, news, imagery and geochemistry, all ready to query.

Developer ready

Get up and running in hours, not weeks

The GeoClerk API is built on standard REST with Bearer API-key authentication, so there is no bespoke SDK to learn before you can make your first call. Most teams are integrating within hours.

Full OpenAPI 3.0.3 specification

Generate a client in your language and have a complete picture of every endpoint before you write a line of code.

Ready-to-use Postman collection
Explore every endpoint immediately, with real requests you can run and adapt straight away.
Standard authentication

API keys with read and write scopes, so you control exactly what each integration is allowed to do. 

~
Built for production

Versioned endpoints, faceted results and pagination, so your integration stays stable as the archive grows.

Security, access and plans

Enterprise-ready access

The GeoClerk API is available now to subscribers on Enterprise plans, and as an add-on to existing GeoClerk subscriptions. Every request is authenticated with a Bearer API key, with read and write scopes set at the key level, so you control exactly what each integration can do. Rate limits are applied at the plan level and scale with your subscription.

GeoClerk is a B2B subscription product. To discuss access, pricing or rate limits for your organisation, contact [email protected].

Who uses the GeoClerk API?

From geoscientist to data engineer, the API works for your whole team

Exploration geologists and geoscientists

Automate the searches you run routinely. Spend less time in the archive and more time on the work that actually needs your expertise.

Data and analytics teams

Pipe live exploration intelligence directly into your own stack. The GeoClerk API fits cleanly into existing pipelines, so you are building with it not around it.

Heads of exploration and technology
Scale your team’s research capacity without scaling headcount. Let the API handle the volume, so your people focus on the decisions that matter.

FAQs

What is the GeoClerk API?
The GeoClerk API gives programmatic and agentic access to the largest archive of sub-surface exploration documents available anywhere. It is a REST API that lets your code, applications and AI agents search and retrieve exploration material spatially, by text, by document, by page and by image type, the same way geoscientists use the GeoClerk platform. It is available to subscribers on Enterprise plans and as an add-on to existing GeoClerk subscriptions.
What data can I access through the GeoClerk API?
Through the API you can search and retrieve from a pre-processed, categorised archive of sub-surface exploration documents. Every document is broken down and indexed, so you can query its full text, individual pages, extracted figures and images, related news and geochemistry. Coverage spans minerals, oil and gas, geothermal, groundwater and carbon storage.
Can AI agents use the GeoClerk API?
Yes. The GeoClerk API is built for both programmatic and agentic use, so AI agents can call it directly as a tool. An agent can search the archive, filter by geometry, and retrieve documents, pages, images and geochemistry as part of automated reasoning and retrieval workflows.
Does the GeoClerk API support spatial (geospatial) search?
Yes. You can filter results by geometry using GeoJSON, with intersects, within and contains operations, to search inside basins, tenements, licence boundaries or any region you define. Spatial filters combine with text and image-type search in a single query.
What disciplines and content does GeoClerk cover?
GeoClerk covers sub-surface exploration across minerals, oil and gas, geothermal, groundwater and carbon storage. The archive includes exploration documents and reports, news, imagery such as maps, cross-sections and core photos, and geochemistry, all pre-processed and searchable through the same API.
How do I authenticate with the GeoClerk API?
The API uses standard Bearer authentication with API keys. You send your key in the Authorization header on each request, and keys carry read and write scopes so you can control what each integration is allowed to do. Keys are issued to Enterprise subscribers.
Is there an OpenAPI spec or Postman collection?
Yes. The GeoClerk API ships with a full OpenAPI 3.0.3 specification and a ready-to-use Postman collection. You can generate a client in your language of choice from the spec and explore every endpoint immediately, so most teams integrate in hours rather than weeks.
How do I get access to the GeoClerk API?
The GeoClerk API is available now to subscribers on Enterprise plans and as an add-on to existing subscriptions. GeoClerk is a B2B subscription product. To arrange a free trial or discuss access for your organisation, contact [email protected].
