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) is there for debugging only and may not be downloaded automatically, see Nominatim Usage Policy.

Parameters

The details API has the following two formats:

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

Both parameters are mandatory, the type is one of node(N), way(W) or relation(R). Up to 50 ids can be queried at the same time.

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

The placeid created assigned sequentially during Nominatim data import. It is different between 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.
