What This Skill Does

Retrieves detailed local business and point-of-interest information through the Brave Search API. You first run a web search with a location filter to get POI IDs, then pass those IDs to this endpoint to get ratings, hours, contact info, addresses, and distance calculations. Supports up to 20 POIs per request. Gets structured business details like hours, ratings, and contact info in one API call instead of scraping multiple review sites individually.
