Good afternoon! What types of address components can contain a response to a reverse geocoding request? A complete list of types is required.

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.

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)?

Thank you all for your help!
