Apple Maps API endpoint
Returns guide summaries (id, title, description, last-modified time, place count, cover photo, source link) for up to 20 guide ids in one call, for example the guide_ids a place carries. Ids Apple does not return are listed in not_found. Publisher details are not part of this lookup; use the guide endpoint for a single guide's publisher and places.
/apple-maps/guides/lookupQuery parameters:
guide_ids (required) — comma-separated Apple guide ids, 1 to 20, e.g. 13100041759208417726,17954826775154719886. A non-numeric entry returns a 400.lang (optional) — display language as a BCP 47 tag, e.g. en-US, fr-FR. Defaults to en-US.country (optional) — two-letter ISO 3166-1 code, e.g. US. Defaults to US.Ids Apple does not return are listed in not_found; the response is 200 even when every id is unknown. Summaries from this lookup do not include the publisher; use /apple-maps/guides/guide for one guide's publisher and places.
Response includes guides[] (each with id, url, title, description, last_modified, item_total, photo_url, source_url) and not_found[].
