4.0 KiB

Full text search endpoint which queries the elasticsearch doc store, slightly slower than suggest.

Required Parameters

  • input: query string

Optional Parameters

  • lat: latitude
  • lon: longitude
  • zoom: zoom level from which you wish to view the world
  • size: number of results requested (defaults to 10)
  • layers: datasets you wish to query (defaults to poi,admin,address).
    • valid values are poi, admin or address
      • poi expands internally to geoname, osmnode, osmway
      • admin expands to admin0, admin1, admin2, neighborhood, locality, local_admin
      • address expands to osmaddress, openaddresses
    • can also be specific to one particular dataset, for example geoname
  • bbox: the bounding box from which you want all your results to come
    • can be one of the following comma separated string values
      • bottom left lat, bottom left lon, top right lat, top right lon
      • left, bottom, right, top
      • min longitude, min latitude, max longitude, max latitude

/search/coarse

This is a coarse forward geocoder endpoint which only searches admin dataset layers.

Required Parameters

  • input: query string

Optional Parameters

  • lat: latitude
  • lon: longitude
  • zoom: zoom level from which you wish to view the world
  • bbox: the bounding box frome which you want all your results to come
  • size: (defaults to 10)
  • layers: (defaults to admin)

/suggest

The autocomplete endpoint, it offers fast response time. Mixes results from around the provided lat/lon and also from precision level 1 and 3.

Required Parameters

  • input: query string
  • lat: latitude
  • lon: longitude
    • lat/lon are required currently because of this open issue

Optional Parameters

  • zoom: zoom level from which you wish to view the world
  • size: number of results requested (defaults to 10)
  • layers: datasets you wish to query (defaults to poi,admin,address)

/suggest/coarse

Only queries the admin layers.

Required Parameters

  • input: query string
  • lat: latitude from where you are searching
  • lon: longitude
    • lat/lon are required currently because of this open issue

Optional Parameters

  • zoom: zoom level from which you wish to view the world
  • size: number of results requested (defaults to 10)
  • layers: datasets you wish to query (defaults to admin)

/suggest/nearby

Works as autocomplete for places located near a latitude/longitude, this endpoint is the same as /suggest but the results are all from within 50 kilometers of the specified point. Unlike /suggest, /suggest/nearby does not mix results from different precision levels (500km, 1000km etc from lat/lon).

Required Parameters

  • input: query string
  • lat: latitude
  • lon: longitude
    • lat/lon are required currently because of this open issue

Optional Parameters

  • zoom: zoom level from which you wish to view the world
  • size: number of results you need (defaults to 10)
  • layers: datasets you wish to query (defaults to poi,admin,address)

/reverse

Reverse geocoding endpoint.

Required Parameters

  • lat: latitude
  • lon: longitude

Optional Parameters

  • zoom: zoom level from which you wish to view the world
  • bbox: bounding box
  • layers: (defaults to poi,admin,address)

/doc

Retrieves a document or multiple documents at once.

Required Parameters

  • one of id or ids
    • id:
      • unique id of the document to be retrieved
      • should be in the form of type:id, for example: geoname:4163334
    • ids:
      • if multiple docs are to be fetched in bulk, an array of ids
