Dabang Autocomplete API Documentation Find places by their Korean name and get the ids and codes the search endpoint needs. The result has five lists: regions (code, gid, name, full name, coordinates, zoom), subways (id, name, lines, radius), universities (id, name), complexes (apartment and officetel complexes with type and address, up to 50) and sale_in_lots (pre-sale projects with status and address). Use regions[].code as region_code, subways[].id as subway_id and universities[].id as university_id in the search endpoint. Use latitude and longitude as lat and lng. Limit the lists with types. A query without matches is an empty, billable success.
