# Atlas Obscura Find genuinely interesting hidden gems near any destination via Atlas Obscura. Searches by coordinates, scores places for interestingness, and filters out mundane historical markers. No API key needed. Uses the [`atlas-obscura-api`](https://github.com/bartholomej/atlas-obscura-api) npm scraper. ## Prerequisites Install dependencies (one time): ```bash cd skills/atlas-obscura && npm install ``` ## City Coordinates Reference Common cities for trip planning. Use these with the search commands. | City | Lat | Lng | |------|-----|-----| | New York | 40.7128 | -74.0060 | | London | 51.5074 | -0.1278 | | Paris | 48.8566 | 2.3522 | | Tokyo | 35.6762 | 139.6503 | | Bangkok | 13.7563 | 100.5018 | | Rome | 41.9028 | 12.4964 | | Barcelona | 41.3874 | 2.1686 | | Istanbul | 41.0082 | 28.9784 | | Mexico City | 19.4326 | -99.1332 | | Lisbon | 38.7223 | -9.1393 | | Seoul | 37.5665 | 126.9780 | | Oslo | 59.9139 | 10.7522 | | Copenhagen | 55.6761 | 12.5683 | | Stockholm | 59.3293 | 18.0686 | ## Commands All commands run from the repo root. Output is JSON. Image URLs are excluded by default to keep output lean. Add `--images` to any command when you need them (e.g. generating HTML pages). ### Search Nearby (Filtered) Finds places near coordinates, fetches full details, scores for interestingness, and filters out boring stuff.
