search_international_trips
Requires origin/destination coordinates plus country codes (e.g., FR, DE, ES, IT, PT). Returns all available international rides with driver details and pricing. Use this for trips crossing national borders. Search international carpool trips between two countries on BlaBlaCar
search_trips
Requires latitude,longitude format for both points. Returns trip details including departure/arrival cities, times, price, driver info, and available seats. Use this for precise location-based searches when you know exact coordinates. Search carpool trips between two GPS coordinates on BlaBlaCar
search_trips_by_city
More user-friendly than coordinate-based search. Returns all matching trips with departure/arrival points, times, prices, driver ratings, and available seats. Best for general city-to-city searches without needing exact coordinates. Search carpool trips between two city names on BlaBlaCar
search_trips_with_radius
Useful when exact pickup/dropoff locations are flexible. Larger radius returns more options but may require additional travel to reach departure points. Returns all rides within the specified radius. Search carpool trips with flexible radius around coordinates
