Geocode a Place Name or Address to Coordinates, Typo-Tolerant (Photon, OpenStreetMap)

photon/geocode

Turn a place name or address into coordinates with the Photon geocoder over OpenStreetMap: each match as a GeoJSON feature with latitude and longitude, name, street, house number, postcode, city, state, country, OSM type and id, and a bounding box where it has one. Tolerates typos and partial text; names in the local language by default, or English, German or French. Optionally biases results toward a point with lat and lon together. Up to 20 results, best first; an unmatched query returns an empty list. © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL); cached for one hour.

// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "photon/geocode" })

// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "photon/geocode", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
