## FAQ

### What is the Facebook Marketplace location search API?

GET /v1/facebook/marketplace/location/search resolves a city or area name into the Facebook Marketplace location you use for a listings search. Pass a query and it returns matching places with their coordinates. It costs 1 credit per call.

### Why do I need this before searching listings?

The Marketplace listings search requires lat and lng, not a plain city name. This endpoint turns a name like Austin into the coordinates you pass to /v1/facebook/marketplace/search, so you never have to guess coordinates.

### What parameters does it take?

Just one required param, query, which is the place name you want to resolve. There are no other params. The response is a compact list of candidate locations, each with the fields you feed into the listings search.

### How much does it cost?

Each call costs 1 credit on the standard tier. It is a lightweight lookup, so most integrations call it once per city and cache the result. New accounts get 100 free credits with no card.

### Can I resolve multiple cities?

Yes. Call the endpoint once per place name. Because it is a simple resolver, you can pre-build a table of city to coordinates and reuse it across many listings searches without re-resolving each time.
