# El Salvador Tourism Places Search

> Search El Salvador's official tourism directory, kept by the Ministerio de Turismo: destinations, public and private tourist sites, restaurants, lodging, transport, recreation, tourist information, surf schools and certified tour guides. Free text matches the name, description, address, town and region. Filter by `kind`, `theme` (`surf_city`, `bitcoin`, `nature_adventure`, `archaeology`, `towns`, `wellness`, `regional`), `department`, `municipality`, the `language` a guide works in, and `registered_only` for businesses in the national tourism registry. Businesses carry the contact details the directory publishes; guides carry their languages and area, not personal contacts. Served by Croma (`as_of` says how current the data is).

**Dataset endpoint**: answers from the whole source in milliseconds and carries `as_of`.

  description: >-
    Government-data APIs for Colombia, Peru, Mexico, United States, Brazil, El
    Salvador, Bolivia, and Japan, plus global web search. Croma normalizes
    public-sector data into structured JSON for product teams and AI agents.


    Every operation is a POST with a JSON body and an organization API key as a
    bearer token; every operation is an idempotent lookup and accepts an
    optional `Idempotency-Key` header. Paths carry their major version (`/v1`);
    the versioning and deprecation policy, including the `Deprecation` and
    `Sunset` headers a retiring endpoint sends, is at
    https://docs.usecroma.com/versioning. Rate limits are per organization and
    reported on every response (`RateLimit-Policy`, `X-RateLimit-*`):

        Optional client-chosen key for this request (any string up to 255
        characters, e.g. a UUID). Every Croma operation is an idempotent lookup:
        repeating a request with the same body returns the same result and
        creates nothing, so retrying after a timeout or network failure is
        always safe. The key is echoed back in the `Idempotency-Key` response
        header so you can correlate a retry with its first attempt. Each attempt
        that reaches the API counts against the rate limit.
