Photon geocoding API osm_tag query parameter removal on GET /api

Deprecated, no dateSubscribe to Photon geocoding APIShare

The query parameter osm_tag on GET /api has been deprecated without a shutdown date. Calls continuing to use osm_tag will eventually fail. Photon geocoding API notes that developers should preferably use category filters instead of direct tag filtering.


Calls it hits

  • GET /api
  • query parameter osm_tag

What to use instead of these calls

Filter with include=osm.<key>.<value> or exclude=osm.<key>.<value> category filters instead of osm_tag.

In Photon geocoding API's words

Preferably use the 'include'/'exclude' category filters with the 'osm' category instead of the direct osm tag filters here.
