### Illustrative sample output

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

```json
{
  "destinations": [
    {
      "city": "New York",
      "destination_id": 745,
      "latitude": 40.750504,
      "longitude": -73.993439,
      "title": "Madison Square Garden"
    },

### Illustrative output fields

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

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destinations` | `array` | 2 items |
| `destinations` | `array` | 2 items |
| `query` | `string` | Madison Square Garden |
| `scraped_at` | `string` | 2026-08-01T10:55:22Z |

## 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.
