Resolve a German city to the city_id that search requires. Pass query to search by name, or city_id to look a city up directly. Name search is a substring match and returns every matching city in one page, so a single Berlin lookup returns all cities whose name contains the term. Send one or the other: when both are present city_id wins and query is ignored, because one billable request is one upstream lookup and the two are served by different endpoints.
