# Search destinations (cities, countries) and schools by name

`GET /header-search/destinations`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://www.extralingo.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://www.extralingo.com/api/v1/header-search/destinations`
- Auth: none declared

Typo-tolerant search over the destinations index. With an empty `q` it returns a curated popular list. When `q` matches no place, a `schools` fallback is returned so school-name queries still resolve. Each hit includes the Extralingo URL.

## Query parameters

- `q` string
- `language` string
- `limit` integer

## Parameters

- `#/components/parameters/Locale` (unresolved $ref)

## Response `200`

Matching destinations and/or schools

- object
  - `query` string
  - `language` string
  - `locale` string
  - `hits` object[]
  - `countries` object[]
  - `schools` object[]
