Nominatim Broken Polygon Service Developer's Guide

The Nominatim Broken Polygon Service is similar to our MapQuest Broken Polygon Service with its simple interface and powerful capabilities, but instead relies solely on data contributed to OpenStreetMap.

If you have questions or comments while going through this guide, please don't hesitate to post on our Support Forums! Also, visit the Nominatim Wiki page for a complete list of acceptable parameters.
