# Atly Places API > Atly scores close to 2 million places against more than 1,400 specific intents — "work friendly", > "gluten free", "great cappuccino", "dog friendly" — from what real reviewers say, and keeps the > short statements behind every score. Coverage is densest in the United States, with pockets in > Mexico, Israel and Thailand. This host is the API itself. If you are an agent, start with the guide: it is written for you. ## Start here - [Guide for agents](https://agentic-api.atly.com/v2/docs): the workflow, the shapes, and the rules. Also `get_docs` over MCP. - [OpenAPI contract](https://agentic-api.atly.com/v2/openapi.yaml): every operation, machine-readable. - MCP endpoint: `https://agentic-api.atly.com/mcp` (Streamable HTTP). Open it in a browser for connection instructions. API v1 was retired on 2026-10-26: this address and every /v0 link now serve v2 (/v0 redirects to /v2). ## How a question gets answered Map the user's words to categories with `list_categories`, resolve a place name with `list_areas` (or pass `lat`/`lon`/`radius_km`), then `search_places`, and `get_place` for depth. Every response carries a `call_id`; `submit_feedback` tells us how it went. ## Access No key is needed to start; anonymous callers share a small hourly quota per IP. `POST https://agentic-api.atly.com/v2/keys` with an email returns a key with a daily quota — send it as `X-API-Key` — and verifying that email raises it. Chat connectors use OAuth instead and need no key. ## About Built by Atly (Steps Solutions Ltd.). - Atly: https://www.atly.com - Privacy: https://www.atly.com/privacy - Terms: https://www.atly.com/terms - Contact: info@atly.com
