# Local POIs (Search API)

> **Requires API Key**: Get one at https://api.search.brave.com
>
> **Plan**: Included in the **Search** plan. See https://api-dashboard.search.brave.com/app/subscriptions/subscribe
>
> **Two-step flow**: This endpoint requires POI IDs from a prior search.
>
> 1. Get POI IDs from `local-place-search`, or from `web-search` with `result_filter=locations` (`locations.results[].id`)
> 2. Pass those IDs to this endpoint to get full business details

## Quick Start (cURL)

### Get POI Details
```bash
curl -s "https://api.search.brave.com/res/v1/local/pois" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" \
  -H "X-Subscription-Token: ${BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY}" \
  -G \
  --data-urlencode "ids=loc4CQWMJWLD4VBEBZ62XQLJTGK6YCJEEJDNAAAAAAA="
```

### Multiple POIs with Location Headers
```bash
curl -s "https://api.search.brave.com/res/v1/local/pois" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" \
  -H "X-Subscription-Token: ${BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY}" \
  -H "X-Loc-Lat: 37.7749" \
  -H "X-Loc-Long: -122.4194" \
  -G \
  --data-urlencode "ids=loc4CQWMJWLD4VBEBZ62XQLJTGK6YCJEEJDNAAAAAAA=" \
  --data-urlencode "ids=loc4HTAVTJKP4RBEBZCEMBI3NG26YD4II4PATIHPDYI=" \
  --data-urlencode "units=imperial"
```

**Note**: POI IDs are opaque strings returned in web search `locations.results[].id`. IDs are ephemeral and expire after ~8 hours. The example IDs above are for illustration — fetch fresh IDs via `web-search` with `result_filter=locations`. Use `--data-urlencode` since IDs may contain `=`.

## Endpoint

```http
GET https://api.search.brave.com/res/v1/local/pois

## Getting POI IDs

`local-place-search` returns POI IDs directly. They also come from the **Web Search API** (`web-search`) with `result_filter=locations`:

```bash
# 1. Search for local businesses
curl -s "https://api.search.brave.com/res/v1/web/search?q=coffee+shops+near+me&result_filter=locations" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "X-Subscription-Token: ${BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY}" \
  -H "X-Loc-Lat: 37.7749" \
  -H "X-Loc-Long: -122.4194"

# 2. Extract POI IDs from locations.results[].id
# 3. Use those IDs with this endpoint
```

## Use Cases

- **Local business lookup**: Retrieve full details (hours, contact, address) for POIs surfaced in web search
- **Restaurant discovery pipeline**: Search for restaurants, fetch POI details, filter by cuisine/rating/price_range
- **Business hours checker**: Get opening_hours for a business to determine if currently open
- **Location-aware application**: Combine with location headers to get distance calculations for nearby POIs

## Notes

- **ID format**: Opaque strings (use `--data-urlencode` for cURL)
- **Units**: `metric` or `imperial` for distance measurement preference
- **Max IDs**: Up to 20 IDs per request
