Press Release: ENLAPA Launches the Data API for Site and Planning Data
Facts you can cite for any place in Germany: the ENLAPA Data API delivers parcels, protected areas, planning, grid and terrain data to software and AI agents
Munich, November 11, 2026. ENLAPA GmbH is making the site data of its planning platform available as a product in its own right. With the ENLAPA Data API, companies query parcels, protected areas, planning status, grid infrastructure, terrain and further site data for any place in Germany through a single interface. The data is available over a REST API for their own applications and over the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI agents such as ChatGPT and Claude.
Assessing a site today means collecting the basics from many sources: the federal states' geoportals, regional plans, protected-area registers, grid data. Formats, licences and update cycles differ from state to state. The ENLAPA Data API brings this data together and returns it in one consistent answer.
Every value with its source, licence and vintage
The data comes mostly from federal and state authorities, plus regional plans, OpenStreetMap and our own models. For every value the API names the source, the licence, the required attribution and the vintage. Where there is no data for a place, the answer says so explicitly and gives the reason. There are no estimates and no placeholders.
"AI agents are only as good as the context they get," says Dr. Klaus Röller, Managing Director of ENLAPA GmbH. "For questions about a site, plausible-sounding text is not enough. Planners, project developers and investors need facts they can back up. That is exactly what the Data API delivers: the source for every number, and where data is missing, a clear statement that it is missing."
What the Data API answers
- Site profile: for a point, an address or a parcel, one call returns many fields at once, such as protected areas, flooding, soils, planning, slope and PV yield. Presets such as
pv_freiflaechebundle the fields for one use case. - Parcels: get the parcel at a coordinate or for a Flurstückskennzeichen, and search an area for parcels by criteria.
- Area check: rule sets for ground-mounted PV, battery storage and wind, run on a point, a parcel or your own polygon, with the reason for every rule.
- Distances: the straight-line distance to the nearest substation, motorway or protected area.
For software, teams and AI agents
The Data API is built for companies that assess sites at scale: solar, wind and battery storage developers, utilities, planning consultancies, software vendors and teams building their own AI agents. Sectors beyond energy use the data too, for example for data centres, logistics, housing, finance and insurance.
ChatGPT and Claude connect to the data MCP by signing in to the ENLAPA account, without storing a key. If a field is missing, the agent requests it itself and free of charge. The answer comes straight away: the field already exists, it is planned, licensing rules it out, or the request was accepted.
Billing is pay as you go from a credit balance, with no base fee. Optional monthly plans top up the credit automatically and give a discount on every request. The Data API covers all of Germany. For places in other EU countries it already returns EU-wide datasets such as Natura 2000 and PVGIS solar data; the extension to Europe is planned.
