Step 1: Set up a MoEngage Content API

   Navigate to Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Content API. Click + Add content API at the top right corner of the Content API screen.

   We will make use of Radar's Search Places API to fetch the HTML content of your templates.

   While setting up your content API, insert the following URL:

   https://api.radar.io/v1/search/places?near=%7B%7BUserAttribute%5B'Latitude'%5D%7D%7D%2C%7B%7BUserAttribute%5B'Longitude'%5D%7D%7D&chains=starbucks&limit=5

   You can write your chains in the URL Parameters. If your project has a chain mapping, the mapped ID can be used in place of the chain slug.
   
   Under Headers, add the following:

   1. Authorization: <your-api-key>
3. Select the method as GET
4. Click on "Save" and then "Done" once you see a successful response.
5. Note - You can also test your APIs. To test your APIs, from the Content API's action menu, click on "Test". You can see your API response and validate it. 

Step 2: Display your places inside MoEngage campaigns

To use this API in your MoEngage campaigns,

1. On step 2 on your campaign creation, enter @. 
2. In the pop up, you can select the Radar Nearby Places API configured in Step 1.
3. You can use MoEngage Templating Language to parse through the API response and use the content in your campaigns:

   {% set response = ContentApi.RadarNearbyPlaces({({"params":{"near":"{{UserAttribute['Latitude']}},{{UserAttribute['Longitude']}}","chains":"target,walmart"},"static_params":{},"dynamic_params":{},"request_body":{}})}) %}
   
   {% for place in response.places %}
   
   {{ place.name }}
   
   {% endfor %}!
