Unfortunately that is what we have at the moment, the API documentation was created for consumption by developers wanting to use the API as part of other applications.
We don't support a point and radius method at present, it is on the list of features in the future but I can't give any feedback on when that is likely to be done right now. If you want to do this you would have to generate a circular polygon and feed that to the API as one of the querystring parameters to this endpoint;

The polygon would need to be in WKT format (to WGS84 coordinates), there is an example of how this can be done in this post;

Unfortunately that is all I can really offer at present, hope that helps a little
