# Find Places

The method `find_places` returns a list of places that matched the value parameter.

<Note>
  Find places by details is not yet supported in the API.
</Note>

The value can match with the place's name, or description.

Once you have the IDs, you can use them to filter your search queries with an [Entity query filter](../search/query_filters#entity).

```python theme={null}
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from bigdata_client import Bigdata
import os

load_dotenv()

# Initialize the Bigdata API
username = os.environ.get("BIGDATA_USERNAME")
password = os.environ.get("BIGDATA_PASSWORD")
bigdata = Bigdata(username, password)

results = bigdata.knowledge_graph.find_places("Spain")

for place in results:
    print(f"Entity ID: {place.id}")
    print(f"Name: {place.name}")
    print(f"Description: {place.description}\n")
```

Output:

```Output theme={null}
Entity ID: 986F1A
Name: Spain
Description: The Kingdom of Spain is a country located in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula.

Entity ID: 99ED7C
Name: Port of Spain
