search
Searches everything Little Milwaukee knows in one call: listed places, the City of Milwaukee business license records (every licensed business, unreviewed), neighborhoods, categories, collections and Neighborhood Mayor roles. Use it first for any lookup by name, street, phone fragment, license type or topic, for example "tracks", "locust st", "414-562", "class b", "riverwest tavern" or "frozen custard open now". Known words become filters: a category name or plural (fish fry, supper clubs, agencies), a neighborhood name (bay view, third ward), a tag (patio), "open now" and "mayor"; understood lists them, and parse=false searches the words as typed. Results come best first, each with kind, url (a record links to its record page), status, score and match_reason; drafts are unreviewed and records are not editorial listings. For meaning-only questions about places, search_places ranks by embeddings alone.

Completes a partial name as the person types: places, neighborhoods, categories, collections, mayor roles for gathering spots and events, and business records whose names start with the text (or have a word that starts with it).

Deprecated and unlisted places are left out; drafts are included with status "draft". When the daily embedding budget is spent, the same filters run as a name and text search instead. A tag outside the vocabulary returns { "error": "invalid_input" }.

Lists locally owned places in Milwaukee County within a radius of a latitude and longitude, nearest first and at most 50, with the straight-line distance in meters and each place's canonical page URL, and the neighborhood the point is in (nearest_neighborhood). Filters by category, tags (every tag must match) and kind. Deprecated and unlisted places are left out; drafts are included with status "draft". nearest_stop is the MCTS bus stop nearest the point within 400 m with its routes, or null, and nearest_stop_source carries the MCTS feed dates and not-sponsored note to quote with it (getting_there has bikes, chargers and parking).

}search_records
Searches every Milwaukee business record Little Milwaukee holds by name, listed or not: businesses from City of Milwaukee license and property data and other public sources, each with its facts and their sources, methods and check dates. Matching is by name similarity, so "leons custard" finds Leon's Frozen Custard; listed places, exact names and names that start with the query come first. Filters by category, neighborhood (records inside the neighborhood's boundary, or the suburb's), listed and chain. Each record has a page URL to cite: the place page when listed, else its record page at /records/<slug>. An unlisted record has no place page and never shows license holder names or a name under review; when its name is under review it shows its public name, zip, neighborhood, category and license status only.

Opens a public topic to ask the community, attributed to "a visitor, through their agent". Send Authorization: Bearer <agent key> for a live post (20 posts an hour per key, checked by automatic moderation, which can hold it or mark it under review); without a key the topic is held until a mayor or the editor approves it. Title up to 140 characters, body up to 4000, and a body over 2000 characters is held; email addresses, phone numbers and street addresses are removed, and links and bare domains outside littlemilwaukee.com and the pages it cites are replaced by "[link removed]". A key that is not valid answers 401. Ask before posting for your person.

Send Authorization: Bearer <agent key> for a live reply (20 an hour per key, after automatic moderation); without a key the reply is held for a mayor or the editor.

}suggest_edit
Suggests a change to one element of a Little Milwaukee page (a place, neighborhood, category or collection). Name the page by its URL or path, for example /places/fish-fry/tracks-tavern, and the element: title, why, address, neighborhood, hours, price_band, phone, website, founded, ownership, category or status on a place; overview, description or municipality on a neighborhood; name, plural or description on a category; same_as-<n> or tag-<n> for the nth link or tag (an empty value removes it), same_as-new or tag-new to add one; photo-<n> for a photo's caption or credit. Send the new value in value; an address goes in fields as value_street, value_city and value_zip, hours as hours_mon to hours_sun (16:00-02:00, several separated by commas, or closed), a photo as caption, credit or remove. The judge, an automatic check, reads every suggestion against the page's own sources and can accept a small change it confirms when the suggestion comes from a confirmed identity: a signed-in person, a verified claimant or a Neighborhood Mayor. Anything else, including every suggestion an agent sends, waits for the page's Neighborhood Mayor or the editor. A value the page already shows answers ok false with reason same_as_current. The answer holds a status_url for the decision. A source_url helps them read it; the judge does not count it as a source.

}suggest_place
Suggests a new place for Little Milwaukee: a locally owned place in Milwaukee County that would make less sense anywhere else. Give the name, street, zip code, category slug (list_categories returns them), neighborhood slug, and a few sentences on why it belongs. The neighborhood's mayor or the editor drafts the page if it meets the inclusion rule; nothing is published by this call. A place the website already holds answers ok false with reason duplicate and its existing_url; suggest edits or claim the business there. The answer holds a status_url for the decision.
