![]() ![]() To use the Geocoding API, you need to sign up for a Geoapify account and get an API key.īelow is the code you need to get a region data including a place_id for "Paris, France":įunction getAllPlaces ( category, cityId, apiKey ) Ĭonsole. A place_id is a unique identifier for a particular place, and you can get one with the Geoapify APIs - Geocoding API, Places API, and Place Details API.įor example, the Geocoding API lets you search a place by name (like "Paris, France") and returns a place_id with the results. How to get a place_id for an administrative boundary You can find the complete list of categories on the Geoapify Places API docs. The Places API supports a wide variety of place categories. The API will return all places within the specified region.Įxample: filter=place:51f07665660fc4024059dc0a96dfac6c.įor example, you can get all the cafes within a certain radius of a particular point, or all the restaurants in Paris or London. Place (city, postcode, suburb, etc): This filter lets you specify a particular region, using a place_id. Rectangle (bounding box): This filter lets you specify a rectangular area. The API will return all places within the specified radius of the center point.Įxample: filter=circle:-87.770231,41.878968,5000 The Places API is a RESTful web service that lets you query for places by category within a geographical area, using a radius, bounding box, or place_id (which specifies a particular region) parameter:Ĭircle: With this filter, you can specify a radius (in meters) and a center point (latitude and longitude). Jump to our Live Demo to see how it works. ![]() This tutorial will show you how to get OSM places by category within a certain city, postcode, suburb, or administrative boundary. The Places API lets you get places by category, and you can filter the results by region (suburb, postcode, city, etc.). With the Places API from Geoapify, you can easily query data from OpenStreetMap (OSM), which is the primary data source for the places. Have you ever needed to get a list of all the places in a particular city or region that fit a specific category, like restaurants, bookstores, or museums? Or maybe you need a list of all the cafes in a specific area? Set the API results on the map by Geoapify.Copy the files from this repository to your webserver (e.g.set_api_keys.sh your_api_key (replacing your_api_key with the key you obtained in step 1) I’ve created a simple tool for setting up a complete repository using a custom API key here: To provide an API key with our tile requests we can simply modify the UrlTemplate: "DataCopyRight" : "OpenStreetMap contributors" The *-hires files provide URLs for tiles at twice the normal resolution, for high DPI displays.įor example, this is the cycle file served by the default Qt providers repository: The repository itself is just a collection of JSON files, with specific names ( cycle, cycle-hires, hiking, hiking-hires, night-transit, night-transit-hires, satellite, street, street-hires, terrain, terrain-hires, transit, transit-hires) each corresponding to a map type. The location of the providers repository can be customised through the OSM plugin property, so all we need to do to use our API key is to set up our own providers repository with URLs that include our API key as a parameter. When the OSM plugin is initialised it communicates with the Qt providers repository which tells it what URLs to use for each map type. It’s not obvious, but after a bit of digging into the way the OSM plugin works I’ve discovered a mechanism by which an API key can be supplied to tile servers that require one. Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be a documented way of supplying an API key to the plugin, and the handful of forum posts and Stack Overflow questions on the topic are either unanswered or answered by people believing that it’s not possible. For a recent side-project I’ve been working on (a cycle computer for UBPorts phones) I found that when using the QtLocation Map QML element, nearly all the map types provided by the OSM plugin (besides the basic streetmap type) require an API key from Thunderforest. ![]()
