## Response fields (items in `results`)

|---|---|
| place_id | platform-native meaning |
| name | Name of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities. |
| url | Link to the record on the platform. |
| category | Category name in the platform's own taxonomy, not normalized across platforms. |
