# Address / place / parcel autocomplete

`GET /api/v1/search/autocomplete`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://propraven.com`
- URL: `https://propraven.com/api/v1/search/autocomplete`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Fast prefix-matched autocomplete: returns cities/places, matching parcels, and Mapbox-geocoded addresses for the prefix. Three independent tiers run in parallel with per-tier timeouts so a slow DB query never blocks fast Mapbox results. Use for type-ahead UIs and address entry; for full-detail lookup use parcel lookup.

## Query parameters

- `q` string, required

## Response `200`

Autocomplete results returned. Empty arrays if `q` is too short or yields no matches.
