`GET /api/listings/{id}.json`

Single listing with full detail — full address, hours, images, sample reviews, website, phone, place_id, and verification timestamp.

curl 'https://www.americanosports.com/api/listings/7351.json'

`GET /api/sports.json` · `/api/states.json` · `/api/cities.json`

Taxonomy indexes. Returns each term with its slug, display name, listing count, and an api_url ready to GET for the listings in that bucket.

Caching & ETags

Every endpoint returns an ETag. Pass it back as If-None-Match to get a 304 when nothing changed:

curl -H 'If-None-Match: "abc123"' 'https://www.americanosports.com/api/listings/7351.json'
