You are probably looking for a geocoding service. The main OSM geocoding service is documented here:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim

If you are bulk geocoding (which it sounds like you are) please note the usage policy:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim_usage_policy

Unfortunately there isn't a bulk geocoding interface for this service, you will need to code something to send requests to the API one at a time with a second (or more) of delay between requests.

Another possibility is to install a local copy of Nominatim (and import the data into that). There are instructions here:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Installation

And there's also a virtual machine image available that contains a version of Nominatim and a tile server:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Virtual_machine_image

(you'd need to import data into that too).

Can I store the feedback from nominatim?

You can store the query results. The license is the same as any other OSM data:

Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

So see the various questions/answers on here about what you can do with OSM data - it is the same answer.

twain already mentioned the Nominatim wiki page, the example on that page clearly answers your question.
