How to find a adress from GPS coordinates via API OpenStreetMap?

How to find a adress from GPS coordinates via API OpenStreetMap?

I can use any language (javascript, java, ...)

Solution

  • Reverse geocoding

    The task you're looking for is called reverse geocoding - reverse to ordinary geocoding, which returns the coordinates of an address.

    Some ways to do that include the python geocoder module ( https://geocoder.readthedocs.io/api.html#reverse-geocoding ) or the OpenStreetMap Nominatim API https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim#Reverse_Geocoding
