update API documentation
* remove traces of HTML output * add details on artificial objects (see also #1671) * add geometry output documentation for lookup * deprecate query by ID via reverse endpoint * remove /search/<query> query format, no longer supported * explain better what reverse geocoding does * lots of smaller fixes to wording

### OSM reference
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Nominatim may sometimes return special objects that do not correspond directly
|
||||||
|
to an object in OpenStreetMap. These are:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Postcodes**. Nominatim returns an postcode point created from all mapped
|
||||||
|
postcodes of the same name. The class and type of these object is `place=postcdode`.
|
||||||
|
No `osm_type` and `osm_id` are included in the result.
|
||||||
|
* **Housenumber interpolations**. Nominatim returns a single interpolated
|
||||||
|
housenumber from the interpolation way. The class and type are `place=house`
|
||||||
|
and `osm_type` and `osm_id` correspond to the interpolation way in OSM.
|
||||||
|
* **TIGER housenumber.** Nominatim returns a single interpolated housenumber
|
||||||
|
from the TIGER data. The class and type are `place=house`
|
||||||
|
and `osm_type` and `osm_id` correspond to the street mentioned in the result.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please note that the `osm_type` and `osm_id` returned may be changed in the
|
||||||
|
future. You should not expect to only find `node`, `way` and `relation` for
|
||||||
|
the type.

an OSM object.
|
|
||||||
|
## How it works
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The reveser geocoding API does not exactly compute the address for the
|
||||||
|
coordinate it receives. It works by finding the closest suitable OSM object
|
||||||
|
and returning its address information. This may occasionally lead to
|
||||||
|
unexpected results.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First of all, Nominatim only includes OSM objects in
|
||||||
|
its index that are suitable for searching. Small, unnamed paths for example
|
||||||
|
are missing from the database and can therefore not be used for reverse
|
||||||
|
geocoding either.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The other issue to be aware of is that the closest OSM object may not always
|
||||||
|
have a similar enough address to the coordinate you were requesting. For
|
||||||
|
example, in dense city areas it may belong to a completely different street.

||||||
