Brave has launched Place Search, a new endpoint in the Brave Search API that enables geographic queries across 200+ million points of interest. Developers can search by center point, radius (up to 20km), and optional query string to find businesses, landmarks, and parks. Key features include granular location targeting, guaranteed location results (unlike regular search), roughly 2x faster response times, and an 'Explore Mode' for empty queries that surfaces popular nearby places. It's available to all Search plan subscribers with pay-as-you-go pricing and a free tier for small projects.
