🌍 Language, Location & Coordinate Support

You can search using either a location name (e.g. "New York") or precise latitude and longitude coordinates.

This allows you to pinpoint searches in areas where text-based locations might be ambiguous or imprecise.

📌 Location-based Search

{
  "term": ["coffee shop"],
  "location": "New York",
  "min_rating": 4.5
}

📌 Coordinate-based Search

{
  "term": ["coffee shop"],
  "latitude": "40.730610",
  "longitude": "-73.935242",
  "min_rating": 4.5,
  "has_website": true
}

✅ Note: If both location and latitude/longitude are provided, the location will take priority. If location is omitted, both latitude and longitude must be included.
