The name of the place index resource you want to use for the search.

The address, name, city, or region to be used in the search in free-form text format. For example, <code>123 Any Street</code>.

<p>The preferred language used to return results. The value must be a valid <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/search/bcp47">BCP 47</a> language tag, for example, <code>en</code> for English.</p> <p>This setting affects the languages used in the results, but not the results themselves. If no language is specified, or not supported for a particular result, the partner automatically chooses a language for the result.</p> <p>For an example, we'll use the Greek language. You search for <code>Athens, Greece</code>, with the <code>language</code> parameter set to <code>en</code>. The result found will most likely be returned as <code>Athens</code>.</p> <p>If you set the <code>language</code> parameter to <code>el</code>, for Greek, then the result found will more likely be returned as <code>Αθήνα</code>.</p> <p>If the data provider does not have a value for Greek, the result will be in a language that the provider does support.</p>

<p>An optional parameter that limits the search results by returning only places that are within the provided bounding box.</p> <p> If provided, this parameter must contain a total of four consecutive numbers in two pairs. The first pair of numbers represents the X and Y coordinates (longitude and latitude, respectively) of the southwest corner of the bounding box; the second pair of numbers represents the X and Y coordinates (longitude and latitude, respectively) of the northeast corner of the bounding box.</p> <p>For example, <code>[-12.7935, -37.4835, -12.0684, -36.9542]</code> represents a bounding box where the southwest corner has longitude <code>-12.7935</code> and latitude <code>-37.4835</code>, and the northeast corner has longitude <code>-12.0684</code> and latitude <code>-36.9542</code>.</p> <note> <p> <code>FilterBBox</code> and <code>BiasPosition</code> are mutually exclusive. Specifying both options results in an error. </p> </note>

<p>An optional parameter. The maximum number of results returned per request. </p> <p>The default: <code>50</code> </p>

<p>An optional parameter that indicates a preference for places that are closer to a specified position.</p> <p> If provided, this parameter must contain a pair of numbers. The first number represents the X coordinate, or longitude; the second number represents the Y coordinate, or latitude.</p> <p>For example, <code>[-123.1174, 49.2847]</code> represents the position with longitude <code>-123.1174</code> and latitude <code>49.2847</code>.</p> <note> <p> <code>BiasPosition</code> and <code>FilterBBox</code> are mutually exclusive. Specifying both options results in an error. </p> </note>

<p>An optional parameter that limits the search results by returning only places that are in a specified list of countries.</p> <ul> <li> <p>Valid values include <a href="https://www.iso.org/iso-3166-country-codes.html">ISO 3166</a> 3-digit country codes. For example, Australia uses three upper-case characters: <code>AUS</code>.</p> </li> </ul>
