From my perspective, it would be useful if the results contained the longtitude and latitude of each place and also place type, so I don't have to make separate requests to obtain these for each of the results.
Agreed. I think almost all the fields in the daily CSV dumps should be in the JSON response: a representative long/lat point, date range, feature types.
This is a feature request for search results (such as obtained via http://pleiades.stoa.org/search?SearchableText=rome&portal_type=Place) to be available as JSON with CORS support please.
