Search for places (points of interest / businesses) in Overture Maps data. You must scope the search to keep it fast and cheap: provide either a country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, e.g. GB, US, FR) OR a lat+lng with a radius. Filter by categories (e.g. restaurant, cafe, used_car_dealer — use list_place_categories to discover valid values), brand_name (e.g. Starbucks), or has_contact to only return places with a website/phone. Returns compact summaries (name, category, location, website, phone), not full geometry.

List the place categories available in Overture Maps data for a country (or a lat/lng/radius area), with how many places each has. Use this to find valid categories values before calling search_places.

List every country present in Overture Maps places data, with the number of places (and brands) in each. Useful to check coverage before searching.

Look up administrative divisions (countries, regions, counties, localities) in Overture Maps. Search by name (e.g. 'Springfield'), optionally narrowed by country, subtype (country, region, county, locality, ...) or admin_level. Geometry is omitted by default to save space; set include_geometry=true only if you specifically need the boundary polygon.
