Search a place to see results on the map

How it works

From a name to coordinates — in a single request.

Search converts place and POI text queries into ranked results with coordinates. Use the relevance score, document type, and available classification fields to decide which result to show or accept.

01

Type a query

Enter a place name, POI name, landmark, or area and optionally filter by place or poi.

02

Inspect results

Each result shows the display name, coordinates, relevance score, and document type. Click any result to see the full API response.

03

Copy and use

Copy coordinates directly to clipboard or copy the full JSON response. The curl snippet shows the exact API call you'd make in production.

Response fields

What the API returns.

Every search result includes the documented place or POI fields needed for UI display, route planning, and location workflows without additional lookups.

lon, lat

WGS84 coordinates for the matched feature. Pass directly to routing, isochrone, or map pin APIs.

score

Search relevance score. Use this to rank or filter returned results.

doc_type

Document type, commonly place or poi.

name

Primary name of the matched place or POI. Use display_name when you need the full label.

place_class / category

Place classification or POI category when available.

canonical_id / source

Canonical document ID and source, such as osm or overture, when available.
