# places dataset info

This block is part of the [`places`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/places) group and was last modified in core [`v15.0.0`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/150000).

Reports which dataset this node is serving: the Overture release, the vocabulary version, and how many records and categories it holds. This is the one places block that answers when no dataset is loaded : that is its job, so check `loaded` rather than `success`. Worth surfacing in an admin view: the release string is what makes results reproducible and comparable between refreshes. Accuracy limits worth knowing: education categories overcount by roughly 6% against the official register, counts are indicative until conflation exists, and `confidence` is uncalibrated.

- loaded `v15.0.0` `condition` True when a dataset is loaded. False means the places blocks will report `PLACES_NOT_AVAILABLE`.

- release `v15.0.0` `value` Overture release string, e.g. `2026-07-22.0`.

- vocabulary version `v15.0.0` `value` Version of the category grouping the dataset was built with.

- record count `v15.0.0` `number` Number of places in the dataset.

- group count `v15.0.0` `number` Number of category groups.

- category count `v15.0.0` `number` Number of distinct raw Overture categories present.

- bbox `v15.0.0` `object` Geographic extent of the dataset, as `{min_lat, min_lon, max_lat, max_lon}`.

- built at `v15.0.0` `value` When the dataset file was built.

- success `v15.0.0` `condition` True when the query ran. An empty result is still a success.

- error `v15.0.0` `value` Error code when the query could not run: none : this block always succeeds; check `loaded`.
