Get a demoI want to scrape data for Riyadh city, but I ended up scraping data for the entire Riyadh province.

Considering the vast area of Riyadh province, how can I refine my scraping to target specifically within the city of Riyadh?

Hey,
thanks for the question. By default, Nominatim API gives us the Riyadh province. If you wish to scrape Riyadh the city, you should use geolocation options:
1"locationQuery": "", 2 "city": "Riyadh", 3 "countryCode": "sa"
Note that you need to leave locationQuery empty so that it's not used instead of city and countryCode.
Unfortunately Nominatim API doesn't have a polygon for the city borders. They have only a point, which is not ideal because the scraper cannot know the exact area it's supposed to scrape. To solve this, currently it's best to create your own city polygon in geojson format and pass that to customGeolocation. Take a look at this article for more information. Let me know if you have any questions.
