| 400 | `INVALID_CURSOR` | The `cursor` is not one this operation returned. Start again without it. |
| 400 | `INVALID_PARAMS` | A parameter is missing, unknown or out of range, or the engine does not take it. The message names it. |

## Pricing

**Price** $0.0012 per call, plus $0.0012 for each extra call it makes — at most 3 more, so $0.0048 in total. [List price](https://apinoa.com/en/pricing); the rate steps down above 1,000 calls a day.

## Notes

- `category` picks what to list: restaurants, hotels, attractions, tours, destinations or airlines.
- `limit` above one page reads further pages, one unit each.
