Nominatim indexes named (or numbered) features with the OSM data set and a subset of other unnamed features (pubs, hotels, churches, etc).

Its API has the following endpoints for querying the data:

/search - search OSM objects by name or type
/reverse - search OSM object by their location
/lookup - look up address details for OSM objects by thier ID
/status - query the status of the server
/deletable - list objects that have been deleted in OSM but are held back in Nominatim in case the deletion was accidental
/polygons - list of broken polygons detected by Nominatim
/details - show internal details for an object (for debugging only)
