find-nearby

Find nearby places using OpenStreetMap by querying the Overpass API and Nominatim for geocoding. This approach requires no API keys, leveraging open data to locate amenities like restaurants or pharmacies around a specified location with configurable radius and limits.

Yes, you can search for nearby venues using a Telegram location pin, zip code, address, or landmark. The geocoding functionality converts these human-readable inputs and coordinate pins into latitude and longitude pairs for the Overpass API query.

The nearby places search results include venue names, distance from the specified location, coordinates, and Google Maps links. Optional fields provide additional details such as cuisine type, operating hours, phone numbers, and website URLs when available in the OpenStreetMap data.

Geocode an address into coordinates using Nominatim, then pass those coordinates to the Overpass API to query amenities within a defined radius. This process extracts nearby venue data from OpenStreetMap, returning results as human-readable text or structured JSON output.

Yes, the OpenStreetMap location search supports querying multiple place types simultaneously. You can specify various amenities like restaurants, cafes, bars, and pharmacies in a single search around your given location to receive a consolidated list of nearby venues.

Using Nominatim and Overpass for geocoding and nearby searches relies on public OpenStreetMap data, meaning results depend on community mapping accuracy and availability. Heavy usage of these free services may face rate limits, and optional venue details like hours or phone numbers are not guaranteed to exist.
