[New API] Google Travel "Things to do" API
Google Travel includes a tab for "Things to Do". A customer has requested we scrape this.
It appears that in order to perform a "Things to Do" search, a user first needs to type a query, then select something from the dropdown. If the user types a query that isn't an exact match for one of the options, then presses enter, a regular Google search is performed instead.
Scraping would probably need to be a 2-engine multi-request process similar to what we have for Google Jobs Search and Google Jobs Listings or Google Shopping and Google Products. The user could first send a query, and we could respond with a list of supported "Things to do" searches. The user would then need to send a subsequent request with one of the suggested options as the query.
