Support for Nominatim lookup endpoint

[kalsan]

Thank you very much for providing this aweseome gem!

If I saw correctly, all Nominatim lookups go to the /search endpoint. While this covers most use cases, some are missing, such as looking up an osm_id, which is done through the /lookup endpoint. For example:

curl 'http://localhost:8080/lookup?osm_ids=R1702265&format=jsonv2&addressdetails=1'

[{"place_id":104828,"licence":"Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. https://osm.org/copyright","osm_type":"relation","osm_id":1702265,"boundingbox":["47.3991502","47.4171175","8.5260623","8.5587967"],"lat":"47.4104211","lon":"8.5445851","display_name":"Oerlikon, Kreis 11, Zürich, Bezirk Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera/Svizra","place_rank":20,"category":"boundary","type":"administrative","importance":0.14667666666666662,"address":{"suburb":"Oerlikon","city":"Zürich","county":"Bezirk Zürich","state":"Zürich","ISO3166-2-lvl4":"CH-ZH","country":"Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera/Svizra","country_code":"ch"}}]

Would you be interested in supporting the lookup endpoint as well?

Best,

Yes you are correct, and yes I'm interested in adding support for OSM ID lookups. Thanks for noting this. It could be implemented similar to how some lookups detect a forward or reverse geocoding query and adjust the URL, using a base_query_url method. See the Here lookup, for example.

Thank you for your quick answer! Do you require assistance with this? I might be able to help next year, given that I'll have more time then than I do have now.

[alexreisner]

Yes, definitely open to a pull request. No rush.

Thank you :-) will contact you somewhere in winter/spring 2025 hopefully!

Have a nice day!
