# Address lookup
|
|
|
|
The lookup API allows to query the address and other details of one or
|
|
multiple OSM objects like node, way or relation.
|
|
|
|
## Endpoint
|
|
|
|
The lookup API has the following format:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/lookup?osm_ids=[N|W|R]<value>,…,…,&<params>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`osm_ids` is mandatory and must contain a comma-separated list of OSM ids each
|
|
prefixed with its type, one of node(N), way(W) or relation(R). Up to 50 ids
|
|
can be queried at the same time.
|
|
|
|
!!! danger "Deprecation warning"
|
|
The API can also be used with the URL
|
|
`https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/lookup.php`. This is now deprecated
|
|
and will be removed in future versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
This section lists additional optional parameters.
|
|
|
|
### Output format
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Value | Default |
|
|
|-----------| ----- | ------- |
|
|
| format | one of: `xml`, `json`, `jsonv2`, `geojson`, `geocodejson` | `jsonv2` |
|
|
|
|
See [Place Output Formats](Output.md) for details on each format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Value | Default |
|
|
|-----------| ----- | ------- |
|
|
| json_callback | function name | _unset_ |
|
|
|
|
When given, then JSON output will be wrapped in a callback function with
|
|
the given name. See [JSONP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONP) for more
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
Only has an effect for JSON output formats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Output details
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Value | Default |
|
|
|-----------| ----- | ------- |
|
|
| addressdetails | 0 or 1 | 1 |
|
|
|
|
When set to 1, include a breakdown of the address into elements.
|
|
The exact content of the address breakdown depends on the output format.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
If you are interested in a stable classification of address categories
|
|
(suburb, city, state, etc), have a look at the `geocodejson` format.
|
|
All other formats return classifications according to OSM tagging.
|
|
There is a much larger set of categories and they are not always consistent,
|
|
which makes them very hard to work with.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Value | Default |
|
|
|-----------| ----- | ------- |
|
|
| extratags | 0 or 1 | 0 |
|
|
|
|
When set to 1, the response include any additional information in the result
|
|
that is available in the database, e.g. wikipedia link, opening hours.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Value | Default |
|
|
|-----------| ----- | ------- |
|
|
| namedetails | 0 or 1 | 0 |
|
|
|
|
When set to 1, include a full list of names for the result. These may include
|
|
language variants, older names, references and brand.
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Value | Default |
|
|
|-----------| ----- | ------- |
|
|
| entrances | 0 or 1 | 0 |
|
|
|
|
When set to 1, include the tagged entrances in the result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Language of results
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Value | Default |
|
|
|-----------| ----- | ------- |
|
|
| accept-language | browser language string | content of "Accept-Language" HTTP header |
|
|
|
|
Preferred language order for showing search results. This may either be
|
|
a simple comma-separated list of language codes or have the same format
|
|
as the ["Accept-Language" HTTP header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Language).
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
First-time users of Nominatim tend to be confused that they get different
|
|
results when using Nominatim in the browser versus in a command-line tool
|
|
like wget or curl. The command-line tools
|
|
usually don't send any Accept-Language header, prompting Nominatim
|
|
to show results in the local language. Browsers on the contrary always
|
|
send the currently chosen browser language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Polygon output
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Value | Default |
|
|
|-----------| ----- | ------- |
|
|
| polygon_geojson | 0 or 1 | 0 |
|
|
| polygon_kml | 0 or 1 | 0 |
|
|
| polygon_svg | 0 or 1 | 0 |
|
|
| polygon_text | 0 or 1 | 0 |
|
|
|
|
Add the full geometry of the place to the result output. Output formats
|
|
in GeoJSON, KML, SVG or WKT are supported. Only one of these
|
|
options can be used at a time.
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Value | Default |
|
|
|-----------| ----- | ------- |
|
|
| polygon_threshold | floating-point number | 0.0 |
|
|
|
|
When one of the polygon_* outputs is chosen, return a simplified version
|
|
of the output geometry. The parameter describes the
|
|
tolerance in degrees with which the geometry may differ from the original
|
|
geometry. Topology is preserved in the geometry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Other
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Value | Default |
|
|
|-----------| ----- | ------- |
|
|
| email | valid email address | _unset_ |
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Value | Default |
|
|
|-----------| ----- | ------- |
|
|
| debug | 0 or 1 | 0 |
|
|
|
|
Output assorted developer debug information. Data on internals of Nominatim's
|
|
"search loop" logic, and SQL queries. The output is HTML format.
|
|
This overrides the specified machine readable format.
|
|
|
