Local POIs (Search API)
Paid Local POIs proxy via x402 pay-per-use (HTTP 402).
Prerequisites: This skill requires x402-payment. Complete the setup steps before first use. Two-step flow: This endpoint requires POI IDs from a prior web search. 1. Callweb-searchwithresult_filter=locationsto get POI IDs fromlocations.results[].id2. Pass those IDs to this endpoint to get full business details Security: Documentation only — no executable code or credentials. Wallet/keys stay on your machine; never stored here.

--data-urlencode "units=imperial"Note: POI IDs are opaque strings returned in web search locations.results[].id. IDs are ephemeral and expire after ~8 hours. The example IDs above are for illustration — fetch fresh IDs via web-search with result_filter=locations. Use --data-urlencode since IDs may contain =.
POI ID Cache & Invalidation
| Aspect | Policy |
|---|---|
| TTL | POI IDs are valid for approximately 8 hours from issuance. |
| Invalidation | IDs cannot be refreshed or extended. After expiry, use web-search with result_filter=locations to obtain new IDs. |
| Caching | You may cache POI details (hours, ratings, etc.) locally for display; do not cache IDs beyond 8 hours for reuse in local-pois or local-descriptions. |
| Expired ID | Requests with expired IDs return empty or error results. Re-run the web search to get fresh IDs. |

}Getting POI IDs
POI IDs come from the Web Search API (web-search) with result_filter=locations:
# 1. Search for local businesses
curl -s "https://www.cpbox.io/api/x402/web-search?q=coffee+shops+near+me&result_filter=locations" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "X-Loc-Lat: 37.7749" \
-H "X-Loc-Long: -122.4194"
# 2. Extract POI IDs from locations.results[].id
# 3. Use those IDs with this endpointUse Cases
- Local business lookup: Retrieve full details (hours, contact, address) for POIs surfaced in web search
- Restaurant discovery pipeline: Search for restaurants, fetch POI details, filter by cuisine/rating/price_range
- Business hours checker: Get opening_hours for a business to determine if currently open
- Location-aware application: Combine with location headers to get distance calculations for nearby POIs
Notes
- ID format: Opaque strings (use
--data-urlencodefor cURL) - Units:
metricorimperialfor distance measurement preference - Max IDs: Up to 20 IDs per request
