Spitogatos Autocomplete API resolves a place name in Greek or Latin letters to area ids. Pass the id of a result as area_ids to the search, count and map routes. Each result has its name, full name, level in the area tree, parent area and coordinates. A query with no match returns an empty list. Failed requests are not billed.
