Scrappa's GET /api/infocasas/location-autocomplete turns a place name into the location ids that the search filter takes. Results are scoped to the chosen country.
Each result has an id, a name, a type (for example NEIGHBOURHOOD, STATE or CITY), the state it belongs to, and coordinates. The filter object holds the exact id and type pair to send back as locations[0][id] and locations[0][type] on the search endpoint.
