Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Countries, US states, US counties or congressional districts ranked by one indicator from Mappit's Map Apps data, for the latest or a given period, optionally within a country, a US state or a continent. Each value carries its period; the answer names the source and licence. Indicator codes come from list_map_apps; a news topic share is "news_topic_share:" (or pass topic). ``` ### `whats_happening` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. - The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Use first for the news in a place or the world: "What's happening in Seattle?", "Any news near Lagos?", "What's the biggest news today?", "What's going on in France this week?". Returns Mappit's ranking of the top stories (as on the map, each placed where it happened), the storylines running through the area, live conditions (earthquakes, air quality, weather) and a short profile of the place. Each story links to the publisher's article (source_url) and to Mappit (url). For what a place is rather than its news (its overview, publishers, radio and TV, companies), use get_location. ``` ## Only reads (13) Looks things up and changes nothing.

Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text One statistic for one country, US state, US county or congressional district from Mappit's Map Apps data (World Bank, BLS, BEA, Census, CDC, UCDP, UNHCR, FEC, MIT Election Lab and more): the value with its period, its rank, the US figure, the source and licence, and the recent series.
