Notes:

  • We offer two resources: suggestion and entity

Suggestion resource

Request

Path parameters

Parameter Value
country DEU, AUT

Query parameters

Parameter Description Default value
i Input for matching geographical entities (mandatory)
l Limit the number of results (max: 120) 50
t Comma-separated list of entity types (see below) that should be considered.
For backward compatibility reasons this parameter is optional (defaulting to value country,region,city,district,quarterOrTown,postcodeWithQuarter), but it's strongly recommended to specify a value in order to be explicit (and you probably also don't want type postcodeWithQuarter, see comment below).
t= example description
All A shortcut for "country,region,city,district,quarterOrTown,postcode,street" (please note: The parameter "trainStation" is not included).
country Deutschland

Österreich 		country
region Brandenburg

Steiermark 		The federal states according to our Geohierarchy
city Potsdam

Salzburg (Stadt) 		City (according to our Geohierarchy)
district Potsdam-Mittelmark (Kreis)

Salzburg-Umgebung 		County / rural district (according to our Geohierarchy)
quarterOrTown Potsdam - Golm

Rathenow

Salzburg (Stadt) - Aigen

Goldegg 		Boroughs in cities or small towns/villages in counties
quarter Lühsdorf (Treuenbrietzen)

Salzburg (Bergheim) 		Quarters within boroughs or towns/municipalities (including smaller villages) in the format "quarter (parent)" (or "city - quarter" for quarters within boroughs)
postcode 14467 Potsdam

5020 Salzburg 		Postal localities in the format "postcode locality" (as also used for postal addresses)
postcodeWithQuarter 14467 Potsdam - Berliner Vorstadt

5020 Salzburg (Stadt) - Aigen 		Combinations of postcode and quarterOrTown (search term must be a number)
Note that this type is useful only in very special cases as the combination of postcode with quarterOrTown doesn't usually reflect actual addresses that users might expect, in other words it's almost always better to use type postcode instead.
street Am Neuen Palais, 14469 Potsdam - Potsdam West

Albert-Schweitzer-Straße, 5020 Salzburg - Salzburg - Süd 		Street sections as "street, postcode city" or "street, postcode city - quarter" (depending on whether the street section belongs to a specific quarter)
trainStation S Griebnitzsee (Potsdam)

Potsdam Hauptbahnhof 		Trainstations (only in Germany)
