Capabilities

What an agent can do with Location Score API.

Score the area around a coordinate by travel category — sights, restaurants, shopping, transport, nightlife

Compare candidate hotel coordinates by their surrounding area scores before recommending one

Filter rated areas by a specific category to find the best zone for that activity

Adjust the search radius to match user preferences from immediate-neighbourhood to multi-kilometre

View OpenAPI Document

The Amadeus Location Score API returns category-rated areas around a geographic point, scoring nearby zones for travel-relevant categories such as sights, restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and transport. It is designed for travel planners that need to characterise a destination beyond a single coordinate — surfacing 'where to stay for nightlife' or 'best zone for sightseeing' in a city. The single endpoint accepts latitude and longitude with optional radius and category filters and returns rated polygons with a score per category.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Location Score API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Neighbourhood recommendation engine

Help travellers choose where in a city to stay by ranking neighbourhoods on the categories that matter to them. The Location Score API returns scored areas around a city-centre coordinate with sub-scores for sights, restaurants, shopping, transport, and nightlife, so a recommender can match traveller preferences to zones rather than just to hotels. Useful for first-time visitors who do not know a destination's geography.

Call GET /location/analytics/category-rated-areas with latitude=48.8566 longitude=2.3522 radius=2 and return the highest-scoring zone for the 'restaurants' category.

Hotel-location qualifier

Enrich hotel search results by scoring the area around each candidate hotel's coordinates. A hotel's location is often the determining factor in a booking decision; Location Score quantifies it by category so the UI can surface 'great for sightseeing' or 'good transport links' badges next to each hotel. Combine with Hotel Search and Hotel Ratings for a richer ranking signal.

For each hotel in a Hotel Search result set, call Location Score with the hotel's geocode and attach its 'sights' and 'transport' scores to the response.

AI travel planner zone selection

An AI agent planning a multi-day trip uses Location Score to pick a base neighbourhood that fits the user's stated interests — for example, prioritising 'sights' for a sightseeing-heavy trip and 'restaurants' for a food-focused one. The agent calls Jentic to discover Location Score, executes it for several candidate coordinates, and recommends the highest-scoring zone with a citation of the category sub-scores.

Use Jentic to search 'score a destination area', execute Location Score for three candidate coordinates, and return the one with the highest combined score for the user's chosen categories.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Amadeus OAuth2 client_id and client_secret are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped bearer tokens; the client secret never enters the agent's context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent ('score a destination area') and Jentic returns the Location Score operation with its latitude, longitude, radius, and category parameter schemas.

Time to first call

Direct Amadeus integration: 1-2 days for OAuth, polygon parsing, and category mapping. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Complementary

Amadeus Points of Interest

Points of Interest returns specific landmarks; Location Score quantifies the surrounding area's quality.

Choose Points of Interest when the user wants named places; choose Location Score when they want a zone-level quality assessment.

Complementary

Amadeus Hotel Search

Use Location Score to qualify the area around each hotelId returned by Hotel Search.

Choose Hotel Search to fetch offers; pair with Location Score to surface neighbourhood quality alongside each offer.

Complementary

Amadeus Tours and Activities

Once Location Score has identified a strong zone, Tours and Activities surfaces concrete bookable experiences there.

Choose Tours and Activities after Location Score to populate a high-scoring zone with bookable activities.

FAQs

Specific to using Location Score API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Location Score API use?

OAuth 2.0 client credentials. Exchange your Amadeus API key and secret for a bearer access token via the authorization endpoint, then send it on each call. Through Jentic, your client secret stays encrypted in the vault and only a scoped token is exposed to the agent.

What categories does the API score an area on?

Each rated area returns a sub-score per travel category — typical categories include sights, restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and transport. Filter by a single category via the categories query parameter to retrieve only the ones relevant to your use case.

What inputs does the endpoint require?

GET /location/analytics/category-rated-areas requires latitude and longitude. You can optionally pass radius (in kilometres) and a categories filter. The response is a set of polygons with category scores you can render on a map or rank in a recommender.

What are the rate limits for the Location Score API?

Amadeus enforces per-second and per-month transaction quotas that vary by environment. The test environment (test.api.amadeus.com/v1) is suitable for development with low limits; production tiers are set in your Amadeus for Developers contract.

How do I score a destination area through Jentic?

Install with pip install jentic, then search 'score a destination area' to find the Location Score operation. Load its schema and execute with latitude and longitude. Jentic returns the parsed category scores ready to feed into a recommender. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

Is full coverage available in the test environment?

No — the test environment returns scores for only a few selected cities. For full coverage you must upgrade to production via the Amadeus for Developers self-service portal.
