Kenya: Nairobi parcels by block and LR number

Nairobi's land parcels, as tools an AI assistant can call: find a parcel by registration block number, old LR number or coordinates, read its estate, sub-county and stated area, and see it on a map with its neighbours.

KE_parcel_search
Find Nairobi land parcels by block parcel number, LR number, block or location, with each parcel's whole record. query takes a block parcel number ('Nairobi Block 181/2504', 'Block 181/2504'), an LR number ('LR 209/6668'; a bare '181/2504' matches both), a block alone ('Block 181', lists its parcels, paged with offset), or coordinates as 'latitude, longitude' (e.g. -1.2864, 36.8172). With coordinates it returns parcels containing the point (distance 0), then the nearest within `radius` metres, closest first. Each parcel has id, parcelNum, lrNumber, frNumber, statedArea (m²), regBlock, blockName, subCounty, mapArea and bbox. Set include_geometry for each boundary as GeoJSON (keep limit small). Use KE_parcel_image to see a parcel and its neighbours.
query*string
'Nairobi Block 181/2504', 'LR 209/6668', 'Block 181', or 'latitude, longitude'
radiusnumber
Search radius in metres around coordinates(default 25)
limitinteger
Maximum results(default 20)
offsetinteger
Skip this many matches of a number or name search, to page through them(default 0)
include_geometryboolean
Include each boundary as a GeoJSON MultiPolygon(default false)
KE_parcel_image
A map image centred on a Nairobi parcel (id, from KE_parcel_search) or a point (query), with every parcel in view outlined and labelled with its block parcel number, so you can see which parcel is where. The parcel passed as id is drawn in red with a larger label; a query point is a red dot. Returns the parcels in view as JSON (label, id, parcelNum, lrNumber, area in m²; labelled: false where its label didn't fit), then one JPEG per basemap. Basemaps: satellite (Esri World Imagery, often a few years old), hybrid (the same imagery with road and place names), streets and topo (Esri's street and topographic maps). Pass several to compare, e.g. ['satellite', 'streets'] to match buildings with street names. Parcel outlines are yellow on imagery and magenta on maps. Imagery is not always aligned with the cadastre: offsets of several metres are possible. A scale bar is at bottom left. Labels are left off where they'd overlap; call again with a smaller radius to read them. Each image costs about as much context as 1,000 words, so ask for what you need.
idstring
Parcel id (from KE_parcel_search), drawn in red
querystring
'latitude, longitude' to centre on instead of a parcel
radiusnumber
Metres from the centre to the image edge. Default: fits the parcel with a margin, or 80 m around a point
basemapsarray
One image per basemap(default ["satellite"])
sizeinteger
Image width and height in pixels(default 768)
