What is Timemap - Tel Aviv & Haifa Venue History?
Timemap is a powerful CLI wrapper for the community-curated database timemap.co.il, specifically designed for Openclaw Skills users to explore the rich urban history of Tel Aviv-Yafo and Haifa. It provides a technical interface to a non-profit project that maps the evolution of bars, cafes, clubs, cinemas, and performance spaces across decades.
This skill serves as a bridge for developers and researchers to access structured historical data, including opening and closing dates, bilingual names, and community memories. By integrating this into Openclaw Skills, users can programmatically query the cultural landscape of Israel's major cities, making it an invaluable resource for urban researchers and history enthusiasts alike.
Timemap - Tel Aviv & Haifa Venue History Use Cases
- Researching the history of specific addresses or neighborhoods in Tel Aviv or Haifa.
- Identifying active nightlife or cultural venues during a specific year or decade for historical context.
- Finding historical venues near specific geographic coordinates using radius-based searching.
- Gathering database statistics on urban development and venue lifecycles.
- Discovering forgotten cultural landmarks through random venue exploration and community memories.
How Timemap - Tel Aviv & Haifa Venue History Works
- The skill accepts queries via the CLI, supporting both English and Hebrew search terms for names or addresses.
- It fetches data from the timemap.co.il public API and implements a 24-hour local cache to ensure high performance and minimal network overhead.
- The engine processes filters such as city codes, tags (e.g., bar, cinema, food), and specific activity years or opening/closing dates.
- For location-based queries, it utilizes the Haversine formula to accurately calculate distances from provided latitude and longitude coordinates.
- Results are formatted as either human-readable terminal output or structured JSON for integration with other Openclaw Skills components.
