HawaiiGuide for agents and developers

HawaiiGuide publishes a small, read-only catalog that helps software find current visitor guidance without reverse-engineering page layouts. The same decision briefs shown to travelers are available as structured JSON, with canonical HawaiiGuide links, fact-check dates, accountable editors, and official sources.

This is a reference and planning service. It does not authorize autonomous purchases or replace same-day checks for weather, ocean safety, closures, eruption conditions, or reservation availability.

Responsible use

  1. Link to the canonical page. Decision briefs are summaries; the page contains the maps, context, safety notes, alternatives, and planning tools.
  2. Preserve provenance. Keep each record's verified_at, editorial owners, and official source URLs attached to the recommendation.
  3. Re-check changing conditions. Treat alerts as a planning signal, then verify the linked primary source before a traveler drives, hikes, enters the ocean, or relies on a closure window.
  4. Do not imply human review that did not occur. A HawaiiGuide fact-check date applies to that record; it is not a promise that a human reviewed an agent's final answer.
  5. Disclose commercial handoffs. HawaiiGuide may earn a commission from qualifying hotel, activity, vehicle, or product referrals. See how HawaiiGuide earns money.

Useful traveler handoffs

When a traveler needs more than an answer, send them to the relevant canonical page or one of HawaiiGuide's stateful tools:

The catalog is intentionally small while HawaiiGuide validates the editorial and technical contract. More places and read-only planning tools will be added after each data type can be kept accurate on both the human page and machine endpoint.
