We've added a new category that will help you find places that produce something

The new "production" category and its "production.factory", "production.winery", "production.brewery", "production.cheese", "production.pottery" subcategories are available now in Places API.

For example, you can query all breweries in Munich now:

https://api.geoapify.com/v2/places?categories=production.brewery&filter=place:51c69eecf83f18274059dd3ad3f89a134840f00101f901dcf3000000000000c002099203084dc3bc6e6368656e&limit=20&apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY

This will return:

Timezones added

We've added information about time zones to the Geocoding / Reverse Geocoding / Address Autocomplete / Place Details results. The time zone data includes names, time zone offsets for standard and daylight saving times, and abbreviations. Here is an example of a time zone object:

{
  "timezone": {
    "name": "Europe/London",
    "offset_STD": "+00:00",
    "offset_STD_seconds": 0,
    "offset_DST": "+01:00",
    "offset_DST_seconds": 3600,
    "abbreviation_STD": "GMT",
    "abbreviation_DST": "BST"
  }
}

You can test the functionality with Geocoding API Playground >>
