Supports geocoding, place lookup, and optional street-level imagery. ## Places vs Query | Feature | `/places` | `/query` | |---------|-----------|----------| | Method | POST | GET | | Input | Free-form OR structured address | Natural language with context | | Coordinates | Returns them (geocoding) | Can auto-generate for search center | | AI Ranking | No | Yes | | Photos | Optional street-level imagery | No | | Best For | "Eiffel Tower", address lookup | "quiet cafes near Times Square" | **Use `/places`** for geocoding addresses or finding specific named places. **Use `/query`** for natural language queries with AI ranking. ## Setup **Instant Trial (no signup required):** Get a temporary API key with 25 calls: ```bash curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"email": "[REDACTED_SECRET]"}' \ https://api.getcamino.ai/trial/start ``` Returns: `{"api_key": "camino-xxx...", "calls_remaining": 25, ...}` For 1,000 free calls/month, sign up at [https://app.getcamino.ai/skills/activate](https://app.getcamino.ai/skills/activate). **Add your key to Claude Code:** Add to your `~/.claude/settings.json`: ```json { "env": { "CAMINO_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } ``` Restart Claude Code. ## Usage ### Via Shell Script ```bash # Free-form search for a landmark ./scripts/places.sh '{"query": "Eiffel Tower"}' # Search with street-level photos ./scripts/places.sh '{"query": "Empire State Building", "include_photos": true}' # Structured address search ./scripts/places.sh '{"street": "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue", "city": "Washington", "state": "DC", "country": "USA"}' # Search by city ./scripts/places.sh '{"city": "San Francisco", "state": "California", "limit": 5}' ``` ### Via curl (direct API calls) The skill is named `places` but calls the `/search` API endpoint. For direct API calls: ```bash curl -X POST -H "X-[REDACTED_SECRET]" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"query": "Eiffel Tower", "include_photos": true}' \ "https://api.getcamino.ai/search" ``` ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | query | string | No* | - | Free-form search (e.g., "Eiffel Tower", "Central Park") | | amenity | string | No | - | Amenity/POI type | | street | string | No | - | Street name and number | | city | string | No | - | City name | | county | string | No | - | County name | | state | string | No | - | State or province | | country | string | No | - | Country name or code | | postalcode | string | No | - | Postal/ZIP code | | limit | int | No | 10 | Maximum results (1-50) | | include_photos | bool | No | false | Include street-level imagery | | photo_radius | int | No | 100 | Photo search radius in meters (10-500) | | mode | string | No | "basic" | "basic" or "advanced" search depth | *Either `query` or at least one address component is required. ## Response Format ```json [ { "display_name": "Eiffel Tower, 5 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris, France", "lat": 48.8584, "lon": 2.2945, "type": "tourism", "importance": 0.95, "address": { "tourism": "Eiffel Tower", "road": "Avenue Anatole France", "city": "Paris", "country": "France", "postcode": "75007" }, "photos": [ { "url": "https://...", "lat": 48.8580, "lon": 2.2948, "heading": 45 } ], "has_street_imagery": true } ] ``` ## Examples ### Geocode an address ```bash ./scripts/places.sh '{"street": "350 Fifth Avenue", "city": "New York", "state": "NY"}' ``` ### Find a landmark with photos ```bash ./scripts/places.sh '{"query": "Statue of Liberty", "include_photos": true, "photo_radius": 200}' ``` ### Search by postal code ```bash ./scripts/places.sh '{"postalcode": "90210", "country": "USA"}' ``` ### Advanced mode for richer data ```bash ./scripts/places.sh '{"query": "Times Square", "mode": "advanced", "include_photos": true}' ``` ## Best Practices - Use `query` for landmarks, POIs, and well-known places - Use structured address fields for precise geocoding - Enable `include_photos` when you need visual context - Use `mode: "advanced"` for web-enriched place data - Combine address components for more accurate results
