admin_level in response #436

Open ferdinandgoor opened 5 years ago

ferdinandgoor commented 5 years ago

Hello everybody,

I would like to know if you plan to add the admin_level info in the response. Admin_level is almost mendatory to differentiate location with the same properties but different osm_ids.

This problem has already been discussed here https://github.com/komoot/photon/issues/120 and here https://github.com/komoot/photon/issues/120 But there's no clear answer.

IMO this API is almost perfect but it's just missing the Admin_level from nominatim.

Is there any chance to see it added in photon?

Best regards,

Ferdinand GOOR

This would basically be the admin field in the geocode spec. We could add this to the database. I'm just a bit worried about size because we would need to save the names of the admin areas in all languages.
