It would help to add a bit more description about what you want to do, since in OSM "API" can refer to the way that the map is edited, as well as the placename lookup mechanism Nominatim, and also the read-only Xapi. What do you actually want to do?

No nominatim, nominatim is to found location.I think i need API to get metadata of one location.These metadata is used for my app which i want to build

Please explain what you mean with "metadata", and how your app wants to retrieve this data.

I mean, metadata is information which telled by location.it's include name of city,name of country,etc.

Sometimes ago i retrieve that data use openlayer.
