info:
  title: OSRMRoute Places API
  version: 1.1.0
  description: 'OSRMRoute — Maps, Routing, Truck Routing, Search, Road Data, Studio and integration APIs. Use `Authorization: Bearer ` unless an operation documents another flow. Legacy APIs also accept the key query parameter; New geospatial APIs, MCP and private map delivery require Bearer authentication. Mobile challenge/token endpoints use device attestation instead. Coordinates and units are documented per operation: GeoJSON uses longitude,latitude; some legacy and background-job inputs use latitude,longitude. Examples are illustrative, not guaranteed current results. Guides · Mobile Access · MCP · Postman collection.'

      summary: Places API
      description: The Places API discovers businesses and points of interest around any location — cafes, shops, hotels, ATMs, pharmacies and more. Provide a centre point, a radius and an optional category filter, and it returns nearby POIs sorted by distance, each with its name, type, address and exact coordinates. It runs on fresh OpenStreetMap data, so results stay current as the map evolves.
