geocode().reverse(GeocodeReverseParamsparams = GeocodeReverseParams.none(), RequestOptionsrequestOptions = RequestOptions.none()) : ReverseGeocodeResult

GET/api/v1/geocode/reverse

Reverse geocode a coordinate

ParametersExpand Collapse

params: GeocodeReverseParams

format: Optional<String>

Response format: json (default), geojson, csv, ndjson

lang: Optional<String>

Language code for localized names (e.g. en, de, fr)

lat: Optional<Double>

Legacy shorthand. Latitude. Use near param instead.

layer: Optional<String>

Filter by layer: house or poi

limit: Optional<Long>

Maximum results (default 1, max 20)

lng: Optional<Double>

Legacy shorthand. Longitude. Use near param instead.

near: Optional<String>

Point geometry for reverse geocode (lat,lng or GeoJSON). Alternative to lat/lng params.

radius: Optional<Long>

Search radius in meters (default 200, max 5000)

ReturnsExpand Collapse

class ReverseGeocodeResult:

GeoJSON FeatureCollection of reverse geocoding results, ordered by distance from the query point. Content-Type: application/geo+json.

features: List<GeocodingFeature>

Reverse geocoding results ordered by distance

geometry: GeoJsonGeometry

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

coordinates: Coordinates

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

One of the following:

List<Double>

List<List<Double>>

List<List<List<Double>>>

List<List<List<List<Double>>>>

type: Type

Geometry type

One of the following:

POINT("Point")

LINE_STRING("LineString")

POLYGON("Polygon")

MULTI_POINT("MultiPoint")

MULTI_LINE_STRING("MultiLineString")

MULTI_POLYGON("MultiPolygon")

properties: Properties

Geocoding result properties

displayName: String

Formatted address or place name

category: Optional<String>

POI category (e.g. restaurant, cafe, park). Present for place results.

city: Optional<String>

City or town name. Present for address results.

confidence: Optional<Double>

Interpolation confidence (0-1). Present only for interpolated results.

maximum1

minimum0

country: Optional<String>

Country name. Present for reverse geocode address results.

countryCode: Optional<String>

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code

maxLength2

minLength2

distanceM: Optional<Double>

Distance from the query point in meters (reverse geocode / nearby only)

fullAddress: Optional<String>

Complete formatted address from the database. Present for reverse geocode address results.

houseNumber: Optional<String>

House or building number. Present for address and interpolated results.

interpolated: Optional<Boolean>

Whether this result was estimated by address interpolation rather than an exact database match.

name: Optional<String>

Place name (raw). Present for reverse geocode place results.

osmId: Optional<Long>

OpenStreetMap element ID (null for interpolated results)

osmType: Optional<OsmType>

OSM element type (node, way, relation)

One of the following:

NODE("node")

WAY("way")

RELATION("relation")

postcode: Optional<String>

Postal code. Present for reverse geocode address results.

score: Optional<Double>

Relevance score (higher is better). Incorporates text match quality, spatial proximity boost, and popularity signals. Not bounded to 0-1.

minimum0

source: Optional<Source>

Result source indicating how the result was found: structured (exact field match), bm25 (full-text search), fuzzy (trigram similarity), address (reverse geocode address), place (reverse geocode POI), interpolation (estimated from neighboring addresses)

One of the following:

STRUCTURED("structured")

BM25("bm25")

FUZZY("fuzzy")

ADDRESS("address")

PLACE("place")

INTERPOLATION("interpolation")

state: Optional<String>
