What can you build with Search?

Search is a Location API. Developers commonly use location APIs for:

tracking assets and vehicles in real time
building delivery and logistics apps
finding nearby businesses or services
geo-fencing and location-based notifications
address validation and autocomplete

No authentication required. This API is open — no signup or key needed. Ideal for quick prototypes and public-facing features. Search is free to use, making it a low-risk choice to experiment with.
