A tool for building a database of OpenStreetMap for geocoding and for searching the database. Search library.
Nominatim is a tool to search OpenStreetMap data by name and address (geocoding) and to generate synthetic addresses of OSM points (reverse geocoding).
This module implements the library for searching a Nominatim database
imported with the nominatim-db package.
To install the Nominatim API from pypi, run:
pip install nominatim-api
You need Falcon or Starlette to run Nominatim as a service, as well as an ASGI-capable server like uvicorn. To install them from pypi run:
pip install falcon uvicorn
You need to have a Nominatim database imported with the 'nominatim-db' package. Go to the project directory, then run uvicorn as:
uvicorn --factory nominatim.server.falcon.server:run_wsgi
