local-place-search
USE FOR finding places in the physical world - businesses, POIs, street addresses, cities and streets. Results carry address, coordinates, rating, opening hours and phone, so basic details need no follow-up call. Standalone - no POI IDs or prior web search required; the IDs it returns work with local-pois and local-descriptions. Locate by coordinates or a location string, or omit both to search globally. Omit the query to browse an area. Max 100 results.

What this skill does
Place Search (Search API) Requires API Key: Get one at https://api.search.brave.com Plan: Included in the Search plan (with locations option). See https://api-dashboard.search.brave.com/app/subscriptions/subscribe Standalone: Unlike local-pois and local-descriptions, this endpoint does not require POI IDs from a prior web search. You provide a location and an optional query directly. Quick Start (cURL) Search by Query + Coordinates Search by Query + Location String Browse General POIs (No Query) Endpoint Authentication: X-Subscription-Token: <APIKEY> header Parameters Location (optional but recommended) Providing a geographic anchor improves precision. You can use coordinates (latitude + longitude) or a location string. Omitting both is allowed when a q is given — results are sourced globally and may be less precise. Omitting all three (q, latitude/longitude, and location) returns HTTP 422. Parameter Type Required Default Description -- -- -- -- -- latitude float Conditional — Latitude (-90.0 to 90.0). Required together with longitude longitude float Conditional — Longitude (-180.0 to 180.0). Required together with latitude location string No — Location string, alternative to coordinates. US: <city> <state> <country> (e.g., san francisco ca united states). Non-US: <city> <country> (e.g., tokyo japan). Case-insensitive, no commas needed. English or the most popular local language works best Search Parameter Type Required Default Description -- -- -- -- -- q string No — Free-text query (e.g., coffee shops, pizza). Fully optional — if omitted, returns general POIs in the given area Additional Options Parameter Type Required Default Description -- -- -- -- -- radius float No — Search radius bias around the provided coordinates, in meters. Not a hard cutoff — results may extend beyond it. …
