`$client->elements->nearbyPost(?float lat, ?int limit, ?float lng, ?string near, ?float outputBuffer, ?bool outputCentroid, ?string outputFields, ?bool outputGeometry, ?string outputInclude, ?int outputPrecision, ?float outputSimplify, ?string outputSort, ?int radius): FeatureCollection`

**post** `/api/v1/features/nearby`

Find features near a geographic point

### Parameters

- `lat?:optional float`

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

- `limit?:optional int`

  Maximum results (default 20, max 100)

- `lng?:optional float`

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

- `near?:optional string`

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

- `outputBuffer?:optional float`

  Buffer geometry by meters

- `outputCentroid?:optional bool`

  Replace geometry with centroid

- `outputFields?:optional string`

  Comma-separated property fields to include

- `outputGeometry?:optional bool`

  Include geometry (default true)

- `outputInclude?:optional string`

  Extra computed fields: bbox, distance, center

- `outputPrecision?:optional int`

  Coordinate decimal precision (1-15, default 7)

- `outputSimplify?:optional float`

  Simplify geometry tolerance in meters

- `outputSort?:optional string`

  Sort by: distance, name, osm_id

- `radius?:optional int`

  Search radius in meters (default 500, max 10000)

### Returns

- `FeatureCollection`

  - `list<GeoJsonFeature> features`

    Array of GeoJSON Feature objects

  - `Type type`

    Always `FeatureCollection`

### Example

```php
<?php

require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$client = new Client(apiKey: 'My API Key', environment: 'local');

$featureCollection = $client->elements->nearbyPost(
  lat: 0,
  limit: 0,
  lng: 0,
  near: 'near',
  outputBuffer: 0,
  outputCentroid: true,
  outputFields: 'output[fields]',
  outputGeometry: true,
  outputInclude: 'output[include]',
  outputPrecision: 0,
  outputSimplify: 0,
  outputSort: 'output[sort]',
  radius: 0,
);

var_dump($featureCollection);
```
