Nominatim - Frontend Library

Nominatim is a tool to search OpenStreetMap data by name and address (geocoding) and to generate synthetic addresses of OSM points (reverse geocoding).

This module implements the library for searching a Nominatim database imported with the nominatim-db package.

Installation

To install the Nominatim API from pypi, run:

pip install nominatim-api

Running a Nominatim server

You need Falcon or Starlette to run Nominatim as a service, as well as an ASGI-capable server like uvicorn. To install them from pypi run:

pip install falcon uvicorn

You need to have a Nominatim database imported with the 'nominatim-db' package. Go to the project directory, then run uvicorn as:

uvicorn --factory nominatim.server.falcon.server:run_wsgi
