Embedded map (iframe)
Drop the CERA® map directly into your own underwriting workbench, with no map stack of your own. Overlay historic event footprints and plot every location you have uploaded, geospatially, inside your existing screens.
What the embed gives you
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Historic event overlays | Render historic hail, wildfire, tropical cyclone and tornado footprints as layers on the embedded map, viewed without leaving your workbench. Same data as the historic events endpoints. |
| Your locations, geospatially | Every location you have uploaded (individually or via batch schedules) can be displayed on the map, so a schedule becomes a picture: risks, footprints and hazard context in one view. Up to 100,000 locations can be overlaid. |
| Edit Mode | Adjust uploaded locations manually on the map, save and export the adjusted set, and re-run the peril modelling for the changed locations only. |
Typical workflow
An example walk through would be: batch upload your locations → submit an in-depth peril model request → embed the completed results in the iframe → toggle Edit Mode on the location map to adjust locations manually → save and export the adjusted locations → re-run the peril modelling for the changed locations only (unchanged locations are not re-run).

Notes
| Item | Question to answer |
|---|---|
| Embed URL | Canonical URL are of the form https://prod-external-weather-api.s3.amazonaws.com/batch-results |
| Authentication | The report URL is presigned and expires in 1 week |
| Parameters | The URL takes no parameters |
| Security | This form of domain may need whitelisting by your security team. |
If you already run your own mapping stack, you do not need the iframe: the historic events shapes endpoint returns GeoJSON with ready-made styling properties (stroke and fill descriptions) that drops straight into Mapbox, Leaflet or ArcGIS.
