Search places and addresses
bl_searchSearch Iranian places, streets, neighborhoods, and cities by name to get coordinates and addresses; pass a location to rank nearby results, or use a query to geocode an address.
Instructions
Search Balad (Iranian map) for places, streets, neighbourhoods and cities by name, with coordinates and address.
Use it to find a specific place or to turn an address or city name into coordinates (geocoding). Results near
the given point rank first, so pass lat/lng (e.g. a city's coordinates from a first bl_search) when searching
outside Tehran. type is poi (a business or landmark: pass its id to bl_place), road, city, region or
category; a category row gives a category slug for bl_nearby. For every pharmacy, restaurant, etc. around
a point use bl_nearby instead; for coordinates -> address use bl_reverse_geocode. Empty: try a shorter or
Persian query.
