# Claro by Casafari: AI search for commercial premises

> Casafari is the AI agent-native real estate data intelligence platform. Claro is Casafari’s AI search for commercial premises. Describe the site you need in plain words, or upload your expansion brief, and Claro checks every premises on the market against each criterion: met, not met or not stated, with the evidence behind each verdict. It searches across Spain by city or province (or the whole country when a brief names no place): 27,000+ commercial premises in Madrid and Barcelona today, premises from the rest of Spain added every night, all refreshed nightly. Location figures (footfall, residents, income, places nearby) cover Madrid and Barcelona.

Claro is part of Casafari Business Expansion. It is for expansion and real estate managers at retail chains, gyms, restaurant and coffee groups, pharmacies, clinics and franchise networks, and the agents who search for them.

## Rules the answers follow

- Every fact comes from the listing's own words or from measured data, and is shown with its source.
- Missing information is "not stated", never assumed. Each criterion is met, not met or not stated.
- Premises link only to the agency's own listing page. Private sellers are never named.
- Location figures (footfall, residents, age, income, spending power, places nearby) come with every premises in Madrid and Barcelona, the free search included; other cities follow.

## Use it as an agent

1. **One free search**, like a visitor: `POST https://expansion.casafari.com/api/try` with JSON `{"brief": "<the premises in plain words, any language>", "lang": "en"}` (1500 characters at most), or multipart with a `file` (pdf, png, jpg, jpeg, webp, heic, docx, doc, xlsx, xls, pptx, ppt, txt, md, csv, rtf, odt; 10 MB). The answer has the counts, the brief as understood (`chips`), and up to 6 premises, each with its verdict per criterion (`checks`: met / not_met / not_stated, with `evidence`), a fit verdict and the agency's listing link. Keep the cookie it sets: the free search is one per visitor (and 3 a day per network). A search that matches nothing does not use it.
2. **Then request access** for the person you act for, with their consent and their own answers: `POST https://expansion.casafari.com/api/register` with JSON `{firstname, lastname, email, phone, company, company_size, countries, sector, datasets, sources, consent: true, lang}`. company_size is one of 1-5, 6-10, 11-50, 51-200, 201-500, 501-1000, >1000; sector one of retail, fitness, qsr, coffee, health, franchise, agent, other; datasets any of premises, footfall, demographics, income, places; sources (how they heard about Casafari) any of linkedin, webinar, event, facebook, instagram, press, friend, other; consent means the person lets Casafari store and process their personal data. The Casafari team replies to the person. Privacy policy: https://www.casafari.com/privacy-policy/
3. **With access** the same search is available as a REST API and an MCP server (tools: search_premises, refine_search, get_premises, compare_premises, explain_location), with every result, dossiers, compare and location figures.
