# Per-POI travel times at many points

`POST /v1/point/pois`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.close.city`
- URL: `https://api.close.city/v1/point/pois`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Every nearby POI and its travel time from the census block containing each
of many lat/lon points, one row per (origin point, POI, mode). Each row
carries its `origin_lat`/`origin_lon`; `origins` maps each point to its
resolved block.

## Request body

- PointPoisBatch
  - `dest_id` integer[], nullable
  - `max_minutes` number, nullable
  - `mode` string[], nullable
  - `origins` PointOrigin[], required: Origin lat/lon points (1-250)
    - `lat` number, required
    - `lon` number, required
  - `type` integer[], nullable

## Response `200`
