3 Show all details about a single place saved in the database.
5 This API endpoint is meant for visual inspection of the data in the database,
6 mainly together with [Nominatim-UI](https://github.com/osm-search/nominatim-ui/).
7 The parameters of the endpoint and the output may change occasionally between
8 versions of Nominatim. Do not rely on the output in scripts or applications.
11 The details endpoint at https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org
12 may not used in scripts or bots at all.
13 See [Nominatim Usage Policy](https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/).
17 The details API supports the following two request formats:
20 https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details?osmtype=[N|W|R]&osmid=<value>&class=<value>
23 `osmtype` and `osmid` are required parameters. The type is one of node (N), way (W)
24 or relation (R). The id must be a number. The `class` parameter is optional and
25 allows to distinguish between entries, when the corresponding OSM object has more
26 than one main tag. For example, when a place is tagged with `tourism=hotel` and
27 `amenity=restaurant`, there will be two place entries in Nominatim, one for a
28 restaurant, one for a hotel. You need to specify `class=tourism` or `class=amentity`
29 to get exactly the one you want. If there are multiple places in the database
30 but the `class` parameter is left out, then one of the places will be chosen
31 at random and displayed.
34 https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details?place_id=<value>
37 Place IDs are assigned sequentially during Nominatim data import. The ID
38 for a place is different between Nominatim installation (servers) and
39 changes when data gets reimported. Therefore it cannot be used as
40 a permanent id and shouldn't be used in bug reports.
42 !!! danger "Deprecation warning"
43 The API can also be used with the URL
44 `https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php`. This is now deprecated
45 and will be removed in future versions.
