}Search BostonVacay's curated directory of Boston, Massachusetts businesses (hotels, restaurants, attractions, bars and shops). Read-only. Filters: keyword, category, area/neighborhood, price tier, amenities (e.g. pool, spa, pet_friendly, rooftop, family_friendly), tag, and distance from a lat/lng or from another listing. Returns compact plain-text listings (description shortened; use get_listing for the full text, hours and FAQ) with the listing page URL, address, phone, website, up to 2 credited photos, and booking links. Booking links are the path to book with the named provider (Expedia for hotels, plus Viator/Klook where the listing has one), not ads; those marked affiliate:true are affiliate links, and BostonVacay may earn a commission if the user books, at no extra cost to them. Results are not ranked by commission. Pass check_in/check_out to get date-specific Expedia hotel links (live rates are shown on Expedia, not in this result).
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| q | string | Keywords, e.g. 'seafood', 'freedom trail', 'rooftop bar' |
| tag | string | Exact listing tag, see list_filters |
| area | string | Area/neighborhood, e.g. 'Back Bay', 'Beacon Hill', 'North End', 'Seaport'. See list_filters. |
