  - before: Finds places of one kind around a latitude/longitude (up to 5 km), nearest first, with distance in meters. Use when: you have coordinates (from geocode_address or the user's location) and need the closest pharmacy, ATM, restaurant, charging station… Example: {"what":"pharmacy","lat":50.8467,"lon":4.3525,"radius_m":1000}
  - after: Finds places of one kind around a latitude/longitude or an address (up to 5 km), nearest first, with distance in meters. Use when: you need the closest pharmacy, ATM, restaurant, charging station… to the user's location or to an address. Example: {"what":"pharmacy","lat":50.8467,"lon":4.3525,"radius_m":1000} or {"what":"pharmacy","where":"Grand-Place, Brussels"}
