### Search places

#### Quickstart

Search for places matching a query term like “Station”.

```bash
curl -X GET "https://api.eu.apyhub.com/dosvak/search-places?query=Station" \
  -H "apy-token: $APY_TOKEN"
```

Returns a JSON object containing the matching search results. The response may include additional provider-specific fields depending on the available place data.

```json

  "query": "Station",
  "count": 1,
  "results": [
    {
      "source_table": "point",
      "osm_id": 4792457222,

## About

## What it does
Place Search lets you look up places by text query and get matching location results back in a structured response. Send a `query`, and optionally set `limit` to control how many matches you want, up to 200.

Use it when you need place lookup inside a booking flow, a map search box, or an address autocomplete feature. The endpoint is built for simple search-driven discovery: you provide a name or place phrase such as " Station", and the API returns the matched places in its response body.

Because the response schema is open-ended, you should treat the returned payload as a searchable place result set rather than a fixed record shape. That makes Place Search useful for integrating with mapping UIs, location pickers, nearby search, or internal tools that need to resolve user-entered place names into API results.

If your application needs fast place discovery from free-text input, Place Search gives you a minimal query interface and a flexible result payload for downstream filtering, display, or ranking.
