Hi, i try to build an autocomplete textbox which should display countries and cities. Because the list should also care for variant names of cities and countries and different languages (like i.e. "Cologne" or "Köln") I thought about using nominatim. Unfortunately I cannot find any help on how to filter the resultset to just cities and countries. Any help is highly appreciated :-). your's felix |

Take a look at the parameters. If you want to limit your search to cities and countries only then just set the city or country parameter, e.g. http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?city=Köln and http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?country=Croatia Setting both at the same time only works if both are actually part of the address. In this example it won't work because there is no city named Köln in Croatia. Thanks Scai: Then I could build two queries and merge the results - this can be a solution - but with an overhead.

Maybe a look at Photon can be helpful? Yes, maybe I'll give it a Iook - the description sounds very promising. But I have to set photon and nominatim up on my own - haven't I? I guess that exceeds my skills by now. I just want to simply fire a request and get results - lazy guy that I am.
