Incomplete scraping by Geo Location

Closed

I want to scrape restaurants in multiple geolocations but the geo location is correct in Nominatim but scraper scrapes only partial area.

Examples: Bangkok Map Definition: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/search.html?q=Bangkok Output from Apify: https://console.apify.com/actors/runs/fPTKJ5p4jkstxZTMc#output It seems it scraped only downtown.

Hong Kong Map Definition: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/search.html?q=Hong+Kong Output from Apify: https://console.apify.com/actors/nwua9Gu5YrADL7ZDj/tasks/hh7vVAns1XmHNXJ19/runs/19smPSmWL2JbjJhSg#output It seems it scraped only Hong Kong Island.

Hey,

thanks for the report. We had an outdated polygon of Bangkok in out cache. We've just updated it so the actor should now use the same polygon as Nominatim API shows you.

Regarding Honk Kong, you can see that Nominatim returns two polygons for hong kong: one polygon covers the island and the other covers the state. In such cases it's better to specify the exact location with Nominatim's advanced search options:

1"locationQuery": "",
2    "state": "hong kong"

This will tell Nominatim to use Honk Kong the state, not the island. Note that locationQuery must be empty otherwise it would be used instead of state
