places in bounding box

This block is part of the places group and was last modified in core v15.0.0.

places in bounding box v15.0.0

Returns every point of interest inside a bounding box : the block for rendering what is currently on screen. Results carry no distance, because a bounding box has no query point; use places_nearest when you need distances. Data is Overture Maps Places.

In pins 6
  • north east required v15.0.0
    geo_point

    North-east corner of the box.

  • south west required v15.0.0
    geo_point

    South-west corner of the box.

  • categories v15.0.0
    array

    Array or comma-separated list of category groups. Accepts group ids (primary_education) or Dutch synonyms (basisschool, kroegen). Empty searches every category. Use places_categories to list them.

  • limit v15.0.0
    number

    Maximum number of results. Empty uses 500.

  • min confidence v15.0.0
    number

    Drop results below this Overture confidence (0–1). The signal is uncalibrated : median 0.80 across the Dutch dataset : so filtering may hide coverage as easily as it removes noise. Empty applies no filter.

  • dedup v15.0.0
    condition

    Collapse duplicate records for the same real place. On by default: Overture is not conflated, so one station can appear three times under name variants (Station Breda Centraal, Gare de Bréda, NS Station Breda). Merged results report merged_count and merged_names.

Out pins 6
  • results v15.0.0
    array

    Matching places. Each carries id, name, category_group, geo_point, distance_m, confidence, address, website, phone and merged_count.

  • count v15.0.0
    number

    Number of results returned, after deduplication.

  • raw count v15.0.0
    number

    Number of underlying records before deduplication.

  • truncated v15.0.0
    condition

    True when limit cut the result short. Zoom in or raise the limit.

  • 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: PLACES_NOT_AVAILABLE, BBOX_CORNERS_REQUIRED.
