REST API

Public routes use the namespace:

/wp-json/cliq-store-locator/v1

Search stores

GET /search accepts the principal parameters below. The server validates types and allowed values; clients should omit unknown values rather than sending partial strings.

Parameter	Meaning
lat, lng	Search origin; supply both together
radius	Positive radius applied from the origin
unit	km or mi
page, per_page	Pagination
q	Text query
city, country	Location filters
category	Comma-separated category identifiers
brand	Brand identifier
open	Open-now filter
sort	distance or name
lang	Requested language context
status	Comma-separated allowed public statuses

Distance sort and radius require valid coordinates. Preserve the same full parameter set between page 1 and load-more requests.

Public write routes validate and rate-limit requests. Do not assume a route is safe merely because it is public; clients must handle 4xx, 429, and server errors without exposing internals. The search limit is currently 120 requests per minute per applicable rate-limit identity and may change, so avoid request-per-keystroke behavior without debounce/cancellation.
