Place details

Lookup details about a single place by id. The default output is HTML for debugging search logic and results.

The details page (including JSON output) exists for debugging only and must not be downloaded automatically, see Nominatim Usage Policy.

Parameters

The details API supports the following two request formats:

  https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details?osmtype=[N|W|R]&osmid=<value>

Both parameters are required, the type is one of node(N), way(W) or relation(R).

  https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details?placeid=<value>

Placeids are assigned sequentially during Nominatim data import. The id for a place is different between Nominatim installation (servers) and changes when data gets reimported. Therefore it can't be used as permanent id and shouldn't be used in bug reports.

Additional optional parameters are explained below.
