GET/api/v1/search_places· paginated

Search places/POIs (venues, landmarks, restaurants). Results are localized to the country you pass (ISO-2). One page per call, cursor-paginated.

Parameter		Description
`query`	required	Place name or keyword.
`country`	optional	ISO-2 country code that localizes the results (e.g. US, SA, AE, GB, EG). Default US. This is what decides which country's places come back — not your location or the keyword.
`cursor`	optional	Page cursor. Omit (or 0) for the first page; pass the `next_cursor` from the previous response.
`format`	optional	Omit for raw POI objects (default). `clean` for a trimmed subset (name, address, country, lat/lng, video_count, rating).

Returns

query, country, next_cursor, has_more, count, and a results array of place/POI objects — raw by default, trimmed with format=clean (name, type, address, country, city, lat, lng, video_count, rating, reviews).
