Is there a way to find the nearest neighboring city with nominatim API? If so can anybody provide me with a working URL example? Thank you for your help in advance |

Use the zoom parameter, example: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/reverse.html?lat=52.114939&lon=4.31488&zoom=10 (The small red circle is the coordinate, the blue circle the found city). What you can't do with Nominatim: define by city size, e.g. find the nearest city with population > 1 million.. @spiekerooger - I'm looking for the nearest alternative town. So for example my coordinates are in Amsterdam but then I like to get the nearest city outside Amsterdam, lets say Zaandam. Is there a way to accomplish that?

@Pepijn Moesker: That will not be doable with the Nominatim API. This alternative API here: http://geodb-cities-api.wirefreethought.com/docs/api/find-near-location will probably help you out, e.g. "GET /v1/geo/locations/+52.383333+4.9/nearbyCities?limit=5&offset=0&radius=100" has Zaandam as a result.
