# Search queries
|
|
|
|
The search API allows you to look up a location from a textual description
|
|
or address. Nominatim supports structured and free-form search queries.
|
|
|
|
The search query may also contain
|
|
[special phrases](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Special_Phrases)
|
|
which are translated into specific OpenStreetMap (OSM) tags (e.g. Pub => `amenity=pub`).
|
|
This can be used to narrow down the kind of objects to be returned.
|
|
|
|
!!! warning
|
|
Special phrases are not suitable to query all objects of a certain type in an
|
|
area. Nominatim will always just return a collection of the best matches. To
|
|
download OSM data by object type, use the [Overpass API](https://overpass-api.de/).
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
The search API has the following format:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?<params>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The search term may be specified with two different sets of parameters:
|
|
|
|
* `q=<query>`
|
|
|
|
Free-form query string to search for.
|
|
Free-form queries are processed first left-to-right and then right-to-left if that fails. So you may search for
|
|
[pilkington avenue, birmingham](https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=pilkington+avenue,birmingham) as well as for
|
|
[birmingham, pilkington avenue](https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=birmingham,+pilkington+avenue).
|
|
Commas are optional, but improve performance by reducing the complexity of the search.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `street=<housenumber> <streetname>`
|
|
* `city=<city>`
|
|
* `county=<county>`
|
|
* `state=<state>`
|
|
* `country=<country>`
|
|
* `postalcode=<postalcode>`
|
|
|
|
Alternative query string format split into several parameters for structured requests.
|
|
Structured requests are faster but are less robust against alternative
|
|
OSM tagging schemas. **Do not combine with** `q=<query>` **parameter**.
|
|
|
|
Both query forms accept the additional parameters listed below.
|
|
|
|
### Output format
|
|
|
|
* `format=[xml|json|jsonv2|geojson|geocodejson]`
|
|
|
|
See [Place Output Formats](Output.md) for details on each format. (Default: jsonv2)
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
The Nominatim service at
|
|
[https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org](https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org)
|
|
has a different default behaviour for historical reasons. When the
|
|
`format` parameter is omitted, the request will be forwarded to the Web UI.
|
|
|
|
* `json_callback=<string>`
|
|
|
|
Wrap JSON output in a callback function ([JSONP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONP)) i.e. `<string>(<json>)`.
|
|
Only has an effect for JSON output formats.
|
|
|
|
### Output details
|
|
|
|
* `addressdetails=[0|1]`
|
|
|
|
Include a breakdown of the address into elements. (Default: 0)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `extratags=[0|1]`
|
|
|
|
Include additional information in the result if available,
|
|
e.g. wikipedia link, opening hours. (Default: 0)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `namedetails=[0|1]`
|
|
|
|
Include a list of alternative names in the results. These may include
|
|
language variants, references, operator and brand. (Default: 0)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Language of results
|
|
|
|
* `accept-language=<browser language string>`
|
|
|
|
Preferred language order for showing search results, overrides the value
|
|
specified in the ["Accept-Language" HTTP header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Language).
|
|
Either use a standard RFC2616 accept-language string or a simple
|
|
comma-separated list of language codes.
|
|
|
|
### Result limitation
|
|
|
|
* `countrycodes=<countrycode>[,<countrycode>][,<countrycode>]...`
|
|
|
|
Limit search results to one or more countries. `<countrycode>` must be the
|
|
[ISO 3166-1alpha2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2) code,
|
|
e.g. `gb` for the United Kingdom, `de` for Germany.
|
|
|
|
Each place in Nominatim is assigned to one country code based
|
|
on OSM country boundaries. In rare cases a place may not be in any country
|
|
at all, for example, in international waters.
|
|
|
|
* `exclude_place_ids=<place_id,[place_id],[place_id]`
|
|
|
|
If you do not want certain OSM objects to appear in the search
|
|
result, give a comma separated list of the `place_id`s you want to skip.
|
|
This can be used to retrieve additional search results. For example, if a
|
|
previous query only returned a few results, then including those here would
|
|
cause the search to return other, less accurate, matches (if possible).
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `limit=<integer>`
|
|
|
|
Limit the number of returned results. (Default: 10, Maximum: 50)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `viewbox=<x1>,<y1>,<x2>,<y2>`
|
|
|
|
The preferred area to find search results. Any two corner points of the box
|
|
are accepted as long as they span a real box. `x` is longitude,
|
|
`y` is latitude.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `bounded=[0|1]`
|
|
|
|
When a viewbox is given, restrict the result to items contained within that
|
|
viewbox (see above). When `viewbox` and `bounded=1` are given, an amenity
|
|
only search is allowed. Give the special keyword for the amenity in square
|
|
brackets, e.g. `[pub]` and a selection of objects of this type is returned.
|
|
There is no guarantee that the result is complete. (Default: 0)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Polygon output
|
|
|
|
* `polygon_geojson=1`
|
|
* `polygon_kml=1`
|
|
* `polygon_svg=1`
|
|
* `polygon_text=1`
|
|
|
|
Output geometry of results as a GeoJSON, KML, SVG or WKT. Only one of these
|
|
options can be used at a time. (Default: 0)
|
|
|
|
* `polygon_threshold=0.0`
|
|
|
|
Return a simplified version of the output geometry. The parameter is the
|
|
tolerance in degrees with which the geometry may differ from the original
|
|
geometry. Topology is preserved in the result. (Default: 0.0)
|
|
|
|
### Other
|
|
|
|
* `email=<valid email address>`
|
|
|
|
If you are making large numbers of request please include an appropriate email
|
|
address to identify your requests. See Nominatim's [Usage Policy](https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/) for more details.
|
|
|
|
* `dedupe=[0|1]`
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you have several objects in OSM identifying the same place or
|
|
object in reality. The simplest case is a street being split into many
|
|
different OSM ways due to different characteristics. Nominatim will
|
|
attempt to detect such duplicates and only return one match unless
|
|
this parameter is set to 0. (Default: 1)
|
|
|
|
* `debug=[0|1]`
|
|
|
|
Output assorted developer debug information. Data on internals of Nominatim's
|
|
"Search Loop" logic, and SQL queries. The output is (rough) HTML format.
|
|
This overrides the specified machine readable format. (Default: 0)
|
|
|
|
|
|
