  --header "Prefer: wait=30" \
  --data '{
  "input": {
    "query": "SoFi Stadium"
  },
  "capability": "parkwhiz.search-venues"
}'
```

## Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit` | `integer` | No | Maximum number of results to return. From 1 to 50. Default: `20`. |

## Response

Successful output is returned in `results[0].data`. Raw platform output is intentionally open-ended and may evolve with the upstream source.

### Illustrative sample output

This redacted fixture is an example, not a fixed response schema.

```json
{
  "query": "SoFi Stadium",
  "scraped_at": "2026-08-01T10:54:23Z",
  "venues": [
    {
      "address": "1001 S. Stadium Drive",
      "city": "Inglewood",
      "name": "SoFi Stadium",
      "state": "CA",
      "venue_id": 473556
    }
  ]
}
```
### Illustrative output fields

Derived from the sample above for orientation only. These fields are not a fixed response schema.

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | `string` | SoFi Stadium |
| `scraped_at` | `string` | 2026-08-01T10:54:23Z |
| `venues` | `array` | 1 items |
| `venues` | `array` | 1 items |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
