What other types besides these: house_number road village town city county postcode country country_code

Thank you in advance!

The full list is in the getClassTypes method in https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/blob/master/lib/lib.php - look for the Label keys.

A better list is https://github.com/OpenCageData/address-formatting/blob/master/conf/components.yaml Anything not in this file you can treat as a name of a place, e.g. name of a restaurant, building name.

Thank you very much for such a prompt reply!

Unfortunately, I can not see the document: https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/blob/master/lib/lib.php, since I do not have access to Github.

How can I access?

Maybe you also know, how are the types of address components and administrative divisions request correlated?

@Helen Kir Unfortunately you're going to struggle with OSM software more generally if you don't have access to github. Is that a technical problem at your end that you can resolve, some sort of political issue, or something else?

Our company only plans to use OSM for reverse geocoding.

I have only read open information: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim I do not know about the obligatory access to the Github.

We will need to generate separate address parameters from the geocoding response.

Just to make sure - have you seen https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/ ?

(28 May '18, 15:34) SomeoneElse ♦

Most likely we will install our own copy Nominatim.

You don't need a GitHub account to view the document. Just remove the trailing comma from the URL.

thanks scai, I edited my answer and removed the comma

Oh, how simple, thanks!

The local version of Nominatim allows you to refine the query using addressdetails = [0 | 1] (Include a breakdown of the address into elements)?

(28 May '18, 17:26) Helen Kir

Yes, it will. Example: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=university%20ave,%20palo%20alto&polygon_geojson=1&viewbox=&format=jsonv2&addressdetails=1
