OperationId:geocoding_details

Return administrative and topological detail for a single OpenStreetMap place. Provide either place_id (internal Nominatim identifier) OR the osm_type + osm_id pair (stable OSM identifier - preferred). osm_type accepts the single-letter form N (node), W (way), R (relation). Responses can be very large for famous places when the multilingual names map is populated. Intended for one-shot lookups, not live autocomplete. Data is (C) OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL 1.0).
