Mapzen Search API Release Notes

April 08, 2016

Changes

  • Switched from Quattroshapes to WhosOnFirst as the canonical source for administrative hierarchies and corresponding geometries.
  • No longer importing Quattroshapes data since WhosOnFirst contains all those records and more. Going forward, any use of quattroshapes or qs in queries will resolve to whosonfirst or wof automatically.
  • New bbox property has been added to individual results, for which geometry was available in the original source. This does not affect POI and address data.
  • Drastic improvements have been made to the label generation logic.
  • id and gid format has changed to make the ids more unique.
  • New id format resolves previously outstanding bugs related to geonames ids being invalid for lookup via the /place endpoint.
  • Addition place types have been introduced, such as macroregion, macrocounty, and borough.
  • gid values have been added for each parent in the admin hierarchies of results.
