  description: "## Search for places by prefix\n\nYou can use this endpoint to obtain `place_id` of the location you want, to be used in `point` endpoint. The response also contains detailed information about the location, such as coordinates, timezone and the country the place belongs to.\n\nUnlike the `/find_places` endpoint, you should only specify the prefix of the place you are looking for. This is particularly useful for autocomplete forms. You can search for cities, mountains, lakes, countries, ZIP codes, etc. The response can contain multiple places, sorted by relevance. You can then identify the one you want by coordinates, country, or the administrative area.\n"
