# Bowling Data Agent API

Bowling Data (https://bowlingdata.co) measures demand at bowling centers from inferred booking signals observed in public data: sell-through computed, revenue modeled with a P10–P90 range. This API answers questions from Bowling Data's public pages and serves its free example day as rows. It returns passages with their canonical URLs, not a written answer: answer.instruction says how to use them, and followUp.questions are optional questions whose answers go in intent on the next search. It is Bowling Data's door to the Fron Research Agent API (https://fronresearch.com/api/agent), which covers every sister site; add site=all to search them all from here.

## How to ask

- Describe: `GET https://bowlingdata.co/api/agent`
- Ask: `GET https://bowlingdata.co/api/agent?q=how+does+Bowling+Data+measure+bowling+centers`
- Read a page: `GET https://bowlingdata.co/api/agent?doc=lanecheck/pricing`

Parameters: `q` question, 1–500 characters; `intent` optional, up to 300 characters: why you are asking and for whom. It does not change the results; it tells us which data to publish next; `doc` document id from a search result or the list below; `site` default lanecheck; all searches every Fron Research site, or name one: heatcheck, lanecheck, parkcheck, baycheck, courtcheck, fronresearch; `max` results, 1–10 (default 5); `offset` continue a long document from nextOffset; `format` md (default) or json; Accept: application/json also selects JSON.

- Unknown is never zero: a — or null means not measured, not none sold.
- Revenue is modeled booking value (GBV) with a P10–P90 range, never ledger revenue.
- Sample days are CC BY 4.0; credit the attribution given with each one.
- Send only public questions. Requests are logged without IP addresses to improve answers (https://fronresearch.com/privacy/).
