Hello, In a project I currently working for there's a need of reverse geocoding of ~15 000 - 20 000 latitude and longitude coordinates. To be more specific I'm not interested in exact street address but just in administrative entities for these coordinates, cities or towns maximum. Nominatim usage policy doesn't encourage bulk geocoding and amount of my requests is quite large but I have a very simple single-threaded script to do it which seems to fall under the limitations of usage policies. The speed is not critical and setting up local Nominatim server is quite an overkill for this task. Unfortunately even business geocoding solution are aimed more for regular application use while I'm in fact interested in the data itself. So there're my main questions: 1) 1. Is it possible to reverse geocode about ~20000 using public API. If not then what amount of requests is acceptable under usage policies? 2) 2. If it is, should I force something like 1 second wait intervals between requests to ensure lower load on public servers. 3) 3. Should I notify about my bulk geocoding Sorry if there're somewhere *exactly* the same questions I couldn't found one one
