GET/api/v1/features/nearby

Find features near a geographic point

ParametersExpand Collapse
ElementNearbyParams parameters
Double lat

Legacy shorthand. Latitude (-90 to 90). Use near param instead.

Long limit

Maximum results (default 20, max 100)

Double lng

Legacy shorthand. Longitude (-180 to 180). Use near param instead.

string near

Point geometry for proximity search (lat,lng or GeoJSON). Alternative to lat/lng params.

Double outputBuffer

Buffer geometry by meters

Boolean outputCentroid

Replace geometry with centroid

string outputFields

Comma-separated property fields to include

Boolean outputGeometry

Include geometry (default true)

string outputInclude

Extra computed fields: bbox, distance, center

Long outputPrecision

Coordinate decimal precision (1-15, default 7)

Double outputSimplify

Simplify geometry tolerance in meters

string outputSort

Sort by: distance, name, osm_id

Long radius

Search radius in meters (default 500, max 10000)

class FeatureCollection:

GeoJSON FeatureCollection (RFC 7946). For paginated endpoints, metadata is returned in HTTP response headers rather than the body:

Header Description
X-Limit Requested result limit
X-Has-More true if more results exist
X-Next-Cursor Opaque cursor for next page (cursor pagination)
X-Next-Offset Numeric offset for next page (offset pagination)
Link RFC 8288 rel="next" link to the next page

Content-Type is application/geo+json.

required IReadOnlyList<GeoJsonFeature> Features

Array of GeoJSON Feature objects

required GeoJsonGeometry Geometry

GeoJSON Geometry object per RFC 7946. Coordinates use [longitude, latitude] order. 3D coordinates [lng, lat, elevation] are used for elevation endpoints.

required Coordinates Coordinates

Coordinates array. Nesting depth varies by geometry type: Point = [lng, lat], LineString = [[lng, lat], ...], Polygon = [[[lng, lat], ...], ...], etc.

One of the following:
IReadOnlyList<Double>
IReadOnlyList<IReadOnlyList<Double>>
IReadOnlyList<IReadOnlyList<IReadOnlyList<Double>>>
IReadOnlyList<IReadOnlyList<IReadOnlyList<IReadOnlyList<Double>>>>
required Type Type

Geometry type

One of the following:
"Point"Point
"LineString"LineString
"Polygon"Polygon
"MultiPoint"MultiPoint
"MultiLineString"MultiLineString
"MultiPolygon"MultiPolygon
required IReadOnlyDictionary<string, JsonElement> Properties

OSM tags flattened as key-value pairs, plus @type (node/way/relation) and @id (OSM ID) metadata fields. May include distance_m for proximity queries.

required Type Type

Always Feature

string ID

Compound identifier in type/osm_id format

required Type Type

Always FeatureCollection

Find features near a geographic point
