# Extralingo

> Extralingo is an online booking platform and comparison site for language travel.

The site is multilingual. English lives under `/en`, Dutch under `/nl`, Danish under
`/da`, Swedish under `/sv`. The URLs below are the English versions; swap the locale
prefix for the equivalent page in another language. Per-locale XML sitemaps are listed
in https://www.extralingo.com/robots.txt.

## Machine-readable API (for agents)

Extralingo exposes a small, public, read-only JSON API for searching language
schools and destinations. No authentication is required; please keep request
volumes reasonable (usage may be rate-limited). The OpenAPI spec is the
authoritative reference for request/response schemas and all parameters; the
endpoint list below is a quick orientation.

- [OpenAPI 3.1 spec](https://www.extralingo.com/openapi.json): authoritative, detailed API reference.
- [API catalog](https://www.extralingo.com/.well-known/api-catalog): RFC 9727 linkset pointing to the spec, docs and health.

Endpoints (base `https://www.extralingo.com`; add `?locale=en|nl|da|sv` to pick the content language):

- `POST /api/school-finder/search`: Search and rank language schools by language, destination, course type and other filters. Each result includes location, review score, indicative price and a booking URL.
- `GET /api/school-finder/filters`: The available filter values (languages, countries, cities, course/accommodation types, atmosphere tags, sizes, etc.).
- `GET /api/header-search/destinations?q=`: Typo-tolerant search of cities, countries and schools by name.
- `GET /api/header-search/bootstrap`: Languages, course categories and popular destinations.
- `GET /api/health`: Service status.

Example — three Spanish schools in Barcelona:

```bash
curl -X POST https://www.extralingo.com/api/school-finder/search \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"language":"spanish","cities":["Barcelona"],"limit":3,"locale":"en"}'
```
