The `class` parameter is optional and +allows to distinguish between entries, when the corresponding OSM object has more +than one main tag. For example, when a place is tagged with `tourism=hotel` and +`amenity=restaurant`, there will be two place entries in Nominatim, one for a +restaurant, one for a hotel.

(Default: 0) +Include details of places that are linked with this one. Places get linked +together when they are different forms of the same physical object. Nominatim +links two kinds of objects together: place nodes get linked with the +corresponding administrative boundaries. Waterway relations get linked together with their +members. -* `linkedplaces=[0|1]` +| Parameter | Value | Default | +|-----------| ----- | ------- | +| hierarchy | 0 or 1 | 0 | -Include details of places which are higher in the address hierarchy. E.g. for a street this is usually the city, state, postal code, country. (Default: 1) +Include details of places lower in the address hierarchy. -* `hierarchy=[0|1]` +`[Python-only]` will only return properly parented places. These are address +or POI-like places that reuse the address of their parent street or place. -Include details of places which are lower in the address hierarchy. E.g. for a city this usually a list of suburbs, rivers, streets.
