# Fotocasa Autocomplete

Returns suggestions carrying combined_location_ids, the 9-slot chain every other Fotocasa endpoint accepts. Two 0 slots in a chain are normal. variant=geoadvisor is the cheap default; variant=v3 adds ads_count and vertical filters.

- **Documentation:** [https://scrappa.co/docs/fotocasa-api/fotocasa_autocomplete](https://scrappa.co/docs/fotocasa-api/fotocasa_autocomplete)
- **API group:** Fotocasa API
- **Endpoint:** `GET https://scrappa.co/api/fotocasa/locations`

## Authentication

Send your Scrappa API key in the `X-API-KEY` request header. Paid endpoints also support accountless x402 payments when called without an API key.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | string | Yes | Place name to resolve, for example Madrid. |
| `variant` | string | No | geoadvisor (default) or v3 for result counts. |
| `property_type` | integer | No | v3 only: numeric propertyType id, same values as /search. Sending it on the default geoadvisor variant is a 422, since that endpoint takes no filters. |
| `transaction_type` | integer | No | v3 only: numeric transactionType id, same values as /search. Sending it on the default geoadvisor variant is a 422. |
