What is TomTom's Places Search API?
TomTom's Places Search API is a modern, session-aware search service for discovering, suggesting, and retrieving rich place information. It powers two primary user journeys: locating a single place quickly and discovering nearby places with filters.
The Places Search API contains the following services with their endpoints:
Suggest
Delivers as-you-type suggestions for important or nearby locations and related discoverable concepts. Use this endpoint to provide a short list of contextualized, explainable suggestions relevant to the current state of the user's query-typing session. Results are optimized for listing-based displays.
Discover
Delivers fully resolved location or discoverAction results based on complete input criteria. Use this endpoint for structured or fully specified inputs, such as suggestion/button interactions, or voice queries. Not intended for as-you-type suggestions (see `suggest` documentation).
Details
Delivers detailed information for a location.
