multiple places with show=

nadertyph...@gmail.com (Jan Hartwig) — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 22:33:00 UT

Hi,
thx a lot for the API.
Is there a possibility to ask for multible places like "show=iii,yyyy"? I
mean not searching with "in_cathegory" because the results of finding by
show have different categories.
f.e. is it possible to search for "wine beer milk" instead of alone "wine"
or "beer" or "milk"? Or do I realy have to send 3 requests against your api

We are currently using the standard account for Qype. Currently when we try

Hi,
not sure what you mean by random order. Do you have an example of what
exactly you think is wrong? One thing that may be confusing is the
meaning of the "rating" parameter. Rating does not strictly mean
"number of stars". We apply an algorithm which computes a place's
overall rating by factoring in things such as how trustful a review
