House Value for your Reverse Geocoder

[taylortrimble]

I noticed that for your geocoder, the "house" value in these templates will sometimes be filled with other values like "library". Do you have a list of these substitution values?

Example (see "library" and "formatted"):

$ curl -i -X GET 'https://api.opencagedata.com/geocode/v1/json?pretty=1&no_annotations=1&key=<redacted>&q=+44.9753,-93.2359'

Hi, For the address formatting we treat anything that's not a component (anything not listed in https://github.com/lokku/address-formatting/blob/master/conf/components.yaml) to be a name and put it first in the formatted string.

So it's kind of a negative list. The positive list would be 1000s of items (user generated content). Any type of shop, any kind of building. Below a top 300 list.

Awesome, that makes sense to me. I should note that in components.yaml I see house and building are aliased, but I see different formatting behavior for both of them. Here is an example:

    components =         {
        building = "Dinnaken House";
        city = Minneapolis;
        country = "United States of America";
        "country_code" = us;
        county = "Hennepin County";
        road = "Southeast Washington Avenue";
        state = Minnesota;
        suburb = Longfellow;
    };
    confidence = 10;
    formatted = "Southeast Washington Avenue, Minneapolis MN, United States of America";

    ------------------------------------

    components =         {
        city = Minneapolis;
        country = "United States of America";
        "country_code" = us;
        county = "Hennepin County";
        house = "Argyle House";
        "house_number" = 920;
        road = "Southeast Delaware Street";
        state = Minnesota;
        suburb = Phillips;
    };
    confidence = 10;
    formatted = "Argyle House, 920 Southeast Delaware Street, Minneapolis MN, United States of America";

I do know how to proceed here for my purposes, but I was still sort of wondering about that.

Thanks for the help!

Hi @tylrtrmbl

very sorry for the delay in replying, I somehow just plain missed this. I'm having trouble recreating the bug, when I search for "44.9732959, -93.2246761" I get a formatted value of "Dinnaken House, Southeast Washington Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55414, United States of America"

Can you send me the query you are making? thanks again and apologies once more for the silence.

Hi @freyfogle:

I'm sure it's simply been fixed. Thank you.
