Points Of Interest By Area

Points of Interest By Area service retrieves POIs within a specified area like city or postcode, ordered by matching relevance. It allows searching for places (points of interest) by name and type along with SIC codes and category codes.

Areaname3 search returns best matched POIs inside the given areaName3 (city or town). Similarly, postCode search returns best matched POIs inside the given postCode.

POIs in an area can be searched in a few different ways by using the parameters efficiently. For example:

  2. To search in a City (areaname3), areaname3 and country are mandatory parameters, however, you can further refine your search by using areaname1, postcode1, name, type, categoryCode, sicCode parameters.
