What is a S2CellId and how big is the range that will be scanned (in meters)?

Hi,

looking in the poke.io.js and I have no Idea what a S2CellId is and how big the range is, which will be scanned (in meters)?

In what radius in meters does this api show wild pokemons for a single hearbeat request?

Thanks

A S2Cell is a representation of a zone on the earth surface. Currently a single heartbeat is made from the LatLng -> S2CellId + neighbors. (Check in the code) The distance covered may vary depending on the Cell shape and your own position inside the shape.

Use s2map.com to visualize them if wanted.
