# Metrocuadrado Types API Documentation

Scrappa's `GET /api/metrocuadrado/types` endpoint returns the source's selector vocabularies. One request reads one vocabulary, so the two are alternatives rather than a chain.

`type=property` (default) returns the property types to pass as `property_type` on the search endpoint — numeric codes, comma-joined for several. Note that a plot is the composite code `4,15`; the bare code `4` matches the whole inventory and returns nothing, which is why the search endpoint rejects it.

`type=deal` returns the deal types to pass as `business_type`: `venta` and `arriendo`.

An empty taxonomy returns a non-billable error rather than an empty success.
