Fincaraiz Location Vocabulary API Documentation

GET https://scrappa.co/api/fincaraiz/location-vocabulary?estate_id=40

Scrappa's GET /api/fincaraiz/location-vocabulary enumerates the platform's location vocabulary — every department, or the neighbourhoods inside one department.

Call it without parameters for the full department list, or pass estate_id to list that department's neighbourhoods. Each neighbourhood carries its parent department, so you can build a two-level picker from two calls.

These numeric ids belong to the platform's own vocabulary. They are not the UUIDs the search endpoint takes — see route-resolver for the translation.

Errors

Handle these documented responses before retrying or showing customer-facing failures.

503

Unreadable Response

The platform answered successfully with a body this endpoint cannot read, so nothing is published and nothing is charged (`parser_drift`). Retryable.

    "meta": {
        "billable": false,
        "retryable": true,
        "endpoint_family": "location-vocabulary"

    },
    "success": false
}
