Getting the longitude and latitude from local Nominatim server.

Hello,

I have setup a local Nominatim server using the instructions found on this site: https://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/appendix/Install-on-Ubuntu-16/. I have tested the server using Luxembourg and it works.

I was wondering if I could use this Nominatim server to extract the longitude latitude coordinates being called from outside like an API call. I already have tiles made from my mapnik server and I would like to highlights the points of the search from the user by getting the longitude and latitude from the nominatim server.
