NoBroker Location Autocomplete API Find places in one city by a search text of 3 or more characters. Each result has a place_id, a name, a type (locality, building or place) and an area text. Send the place_id of a locality as the place_id parameter of the search endpoint. A building (needs_coordinates=true) has no area of its own: search around it with lat and lon instead. NoBroker gives no coordinates in autocomplete.
