Mubawab Autocomplete API finds city slugs by name. Pass the slug to the location filter of the search route. Names that start with your text come first. The answer comes from a list of cities that was checked against the site, so it costs no upstream request and does not list every district. A query with no match returns an empty list. Failed requests are not billed.
