Business Chains filter

This section explains how to filter search results using business chain identifiers within Amazon Location Service's Places API. This feature allows users to refine location searches based on well-known business chains, helping enhance the search experience for brand-specific requests.

The business chains filter enables focused search results by allowing users to specify one or more chain identifiers, useful for finding specific brand locations (for example, coffee shops, gas stations).

To apply business chain filters, use the Place APIs with the `businessChain` parameter set to the desired chain identifier. For implementation details, see the Amazon Location Service API documentation.
