4zida Place Autocomplete API Documentation

GET https://scrappa.co/api/4zida/v1/autocomplete?q=beograd

Resolve free text into cities, municipalities and neighborhoods. Latin and Cyrillic spelling both work. Each item has the place id, title, full title with its parents, the city id, the ancestors and a relevance score. Use the id as place_ids[] in /search. Use this endpoint first: a wrong place id silently returns listings of other places. A page holds 10 suggestions. A query without a match returns an empty list as a successful response.
