Find local businesses in Israel
search_businessesSearch WIPE Around's map of Israel's local businesses (beauty and wellness, health, trades, food, shops, classes…). Write what is wanted in plain Hebrew: the town, the trade, a budget and a time are read from the words, e.g. "קוסמטיקאית ברעננה", "חשמלאי בחולון", "טיפול פנים בחיפה עד 400 השבוע". In English the town, a budget and a time are not read from the words (a business's name and some trade words are), so give the town as city, the trade as kind, and a budget or a time as max or when. A budget (עד 400) or a time (היום or עכשיו for today; מחר, השבוע or בשבוע הקרוב for the week) read only from the words orders the results instead of filtering them. A business known to meet it is lifted (see the order): a published price for it at or under the budget, a free time then in a WIPE booking calendar. One that has not said (no published price for it, or no online booking) stays in the results, and its unconfirmed names what to ask it. One known not to meet it is left out, unless the words give its own name: a higher price, or online booking with no free time then in a WIPE booking calendar. Given as max or when, a budget or a time filters instead. Results come best first, each with its page, phone, WhatsApp, prices and why it fits, and, when it takes bookings through a WIPE site, a booking link and the first free time in its WIPE calendar, if any. Results are ordered by how well they match the words and the trade, how near they are to a location when one is given (for businesses added from the towns around a town asked for, to that town's centre), availability, how complete the page is, reviews and who runs the page. The words can lift a business above that order: one whose own name they give comes first, even outside the trade, the town, the budget or the time asked for; then one that says yes to what they ask of the place (a language spoken there, coming to the home) comes before one that has not; then one known to meet a budget or a time typed in them comes before one that has not said. Availability: any online booking counts a little, and free time in a WIPE booking calendar in the seven days from today counts more, most when its first free time is today or tomorrow and it has free time on five or more of those days. Reviews: only Around's own, written through the link of a booking made on WIPE; reviews from other sites never count. Who runs the page: a page its owner verified counts most, then one its owner manages from a WIPE site, then a page from open data. So a business that books online, more so through a WIPE calendar with free time, and a page run from a WIPE site or verified, rank higher.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | No | What is wanted, in plain Hebrew (the town, the trade, a budget and a time are read from it); in English, a business's name or a trade. | |
| lat | No | With lng, a point to measure from: how near a business is counts in the order, and a town in city or in the words no longer filters. The search reads the businesses within about 25 km of it, and any whose name carries the words wherever they are. The point is used only when both lat and lng are given and it lies in or near Israel. | |
| lng | No | With lat. | |
| max | No | Highest price in shekels, to filter. | |
| city | No | A town's slug or Hebrew name, to filter. | |
| kind | No | A trade's slug (cosmetics, hair, nails, body, electricians…), to filter. | |
| when | No | Only businesses with a free time in a WIPE booking calendar: later today (today) or in the seven days from today (week), Israel time. Free times are read only from the booking calendars of businesses that take bookings through their WIPE site, so a business without one never matches, even one that takes bookings by phone, on WhatsApp or through another booking site. The one exception is a business whose own name the words in q give: it comes first whatever its free times. When the search finds no business at all, the filter is let go: the results are the same search without it, and query.relaxed includes "when". | |
