Facebook Places Search API

Supply query and optionally location_uid or cursor for documented place discovery. No response for this route was sampled; venue identities, geographic fields and result shape must be validated. Use locations to evaluate location identifiers when needed, and confirm ambiguous venue matches manually. This route finds candidate public place references, not verified business ownership, accurate opening hours or a guarantee of geospatial completeness.

Frequently asked questions

Is location_uid a latitude and longitude?

No. It is an identifier validated through location lookup, not a coordinate or radius condition.

Does finding a place confirm that it is an official business?

No. Search only provides candidate references. Identity and sources require human checks.

Are accurate opening hours guaranteed in the response?

No. This endpoint has no sample. Specific place fields and their freshness need actual validation.
