HTTP Parameters

The following HTTP parameters can be passed to the API:

Parameter Description
chain_id (integer, mandatory) The ID of the chain for which the information is being requested.
name (string, optional, max 255 chars) Comma separated list of business names to filter by. The name is matched as a substring, so passing “foo” will match “foo”, “foobar”, “foo bar”, etc.
owner_code (string, optional, max 64 chars) Comma separated list of owner codes to filter by. The owner code is matched as a substring, so passing “foo” will match “foo”, “foobar”, “foo bar”, etc.
search_lat and search_long (float optional, both required if used) Search for businesses closest to a latitude and longitude, in decimal degrees (using WGS-84 datum which is default on most GPS and mobile devices). Setting these parameters will result in the distance of the business in kilometres away from the search lat/long. When search_lat and search_long parameters are present, the results are automatically returned in order of distance, closest first.
search_radius_km (float optional, only used if search_lat and search_long used as above) Restrict the results to inventory items within a radius of a certain number of kilometres. A default of 25 km is used if search_lat and search_long are set but this value is not set.
exclude_inactive (bool, optional) By default, inactive businesses are included in the results of this endpoint. Inactive businesses are ones where the is_shut_down field is set to true. Setting this flag to true excludes any currently inactive businesses from the results.
limit (integer, optional) Limit the number of results returned. If not set, 500 results are returned.
offset (integer, optional) Offset the results returned. If not set, the results start from the beginning.
