-# Input parameters
+# Input Parameter Types
+
+This page describes in more detail some of the input parameter types used
+in the query functions of the API object.
 
 ## Place identification
 
+The [details](NominatimAPI.md#nominatim.api.core.NominatimAPI.details) and
+[lookup](NominatimAPI.md#nominatim.api.core.NominatimAPI.lookup) functions
+require references to places in the database. Below the possible
+types for place identification are listed. All types are dataclasses.
+
+### PlaceID
+
 ::: nominatim.api.PlaceID
     options:
         heading_level: 6
 
+### OsmID
+
 ::: nominatim.api.OsmID
     options:
         heading_level: 6
 
-## Geometries
+## Geometry types
 
 ::: nominatim.api.GeometryFormat
     options:
         heading_level: 6
+        members_order: source
+
+## Geometry input
+
+### Point
 
 ::: nominatim.api.Point
     options:
         heading_level: 6
+        show_signature_annotations: True
+
+### Bbox
 
 ::: nominatim.api.Bbox
     options:
         heading_level: 6
+        show_signature_annotations: True
+        members_order: source
+        group_by_category: False
 
 ## Layers
 
+Layers allow to restrict the search result to thematic groups. This is
+orthogonal to restriction by address ranks, which groups places by their
+geographic extent.
