> Find places by name for weather lookups. Returns a normalized GeoLocation page.

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  description: >-
    Fixed, versioned, provider-independent methods over AgentKey's upstream
    catalog. Each method has a stable name, input schema and output schema; the
    server picks the upstream provider, fails over, normalizes fields and
    refunds failed attempts. Every response names the provider that served it,
    the credits charged and every attempt made.
