# Daft.ie Locations

Four lookups in one route. autocomplete returns live per-vertical listing counts for matching areas. areas and classified return Ireland's area dictionaries — counties, cities, areas and colleges in a single response — and are served from cache after the first call. within returns the sub-areas of a parent area; a leaf area has no sub-areas and returns an empty list rather than an error.

## Errors

| Status | Error | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 404 | Not Found | The requested Daft.ie resource does not exist. This response is not billable. |
| 422 | Invalid Request | A parameter was missing, out of range, or not one of the accepted values — for example an unknown section, ad state, sort or area id. Nothing was requested from Daft.ie, so retrying unchanged will fail the same way. Not billable. |
| 422 | Rejected As Untrustworthy | Daft.ie returned a response that did not match the request, so no data is returned. This happens instead of silently widening a result set. A request did reach Daft.ie and its answer was discarded. Not billable. |
| 501 | Not Public Data | Daft.ie serves this route as gated, so it carries no public listing data. Not billable. |
| 503 | Service Unavailable | Daft.ie is inspecting or refusing the request, it refused the request shape outright, or no approved upstream route is available. This is not an empty result set. Not billable. A gateway-level 502 is rewritten to 503 before it reaches a client, so this endpoint never answers 502. |
