Customised search location
Country, state, county, city, and postal code vs. latitude and longitude
You can speed up the search and consume fewer platform credits by reducing the radius of the geographical area to
scrape. You can use any combination of the geolocation parameters: country
, state
, county
, city
& postalCode
.
Keep in mind that the first five fields and the coordinate options are mutually exclusive.
Automatic zooming
The scraper automatically zooms the map to ensure maximum results are extracted. Higher zoom ensures more (less known)
places are scraped. Logically, the smaller the area is, the higher zoom should be used. Currently, the default zoom
values are:
- no geolocation -> 12
country
orstate
-> 12county
-> 14city
-> 15postalCode
-> 16 If you need even more results or a faster run, you can override these values with thezoom
input parameter.zoom
can be any number between 1 (whole globe) and 21 (few houses).
Custom search area
If you want a very customized location, you can use the custom search area function. As an example, see
the geojson field
in Nominatim Api (
e.g, Malaga in Spain)
.
We recommend using geojson.io to create
customGeolocation
. You just need to copy thegeometry
data.
Polygon
The most common type is polygon, which is a set of points that define the location. The first and last coordinate must
be equal (to close the polygon). customGeolocation
should have this format:
1{ 2 "type": "Polygon", 3 "coordinates": [ 4 [ 5 [ 6 // similar to the last item 7 5.780379384557904, 8 36.27593557577805 9 ], 10 [ 11 2.346303273485148, 12 36.209720849356444 13 ], 14 [ 15 2.1355022082646826, 16 34.13965567461064 17 ], 18 [ 19 6.307816409423452, 20 34.073316430466164 21 ], 22 [ 23 6.158281152270234, 24 35.44634969647147 25 ], 26 [ 27 // similar to the first item 28 5.780379384557904, 29 36.27593557577805 30 ] 31 ] 32 ] 33}
MultiPolygon
MultiPolygon can combine more polygons that are not continuous together.
1{ 2 "type": "MultiPolygon", 3 "coordinates": [ 4 [ 5 // first polygon 6 [ 7 -4.5878887, 8 36.7841131 9 ], 10 [ 11 -4.5775866, 12 36.7171692 13 ] 14 // ... 15 ], 16 [ 17 // second polygon 18 // ... 19 ] 20 ] 21}
Circle
For a circle, we can use the Point
type with our custom parameter radiusKm
. Don't forget to change the radius to fit
your needs. This example covers the city of Basel in Switzerland.
1{ 2 "type": "Point", 3 "coordinates": [ 4 "-4.477740795635299", 5 "36.70672976387528" 6 ], 7 "radiusKm": 6 8}
