What is the Location Lookup product on the Casafari platform?
Location Lookup is the self-serve platform's place-lookup product: it searches places, fetches one, lists its children or resolves coordinates, and every lookup costs 0 units.
If you're a Casafari client: nothing changes for your place lookups. Over the Casafari REST API, References returns the location tree, a location by coordinates and a typeahead scoped to ES or PT. Over the Casafari MCP server, ma_get_location_typeahead turns an English place name into location ids. See How do I turn a place name into a location id?
If you're new to Casafari: connect an assistant to the Location Lookup MCP server at https://platform.casafari.com/mcp/locations, which signs in with OAuth 2.1 and needs no API key, or call REST under https://platform.casafari.com/v1/locations with an API key or an OAuth client. A free first call:
GET https://platform.casafari.com/v1/locations/search?query=LisbonThe product's OpenAPI description is at https://platform.casafari.com/v1/locations/openapi.json. It also looks up places by postcode, free: GET https://platform.casafari.com/v1/locations/search?postcode=28019 (or postcode on the MCP search, with postcode_match exact or prefix) returns the matching places, smallest area first, and every location carries its postcodes. Postcode coverage: Spain fully, France partly, Portugal not yet. See Do location lookups cost units?
