Omio Places API Documentation Find cities, train stations, bus stations and airports by a search text. Each place has a position_id, a type (location, station, busstation or airport), names in several forms, country, coordinates, time zone and, for cities, the number of train stations, bus stations and airports plus the main child stations. Use the position_id of a place as origin_id or destination_id in the search and summary endpoints. Pass id to resolve one place, and departure_id to list destinations that are served from that departure place.
