6 years ago Look for the first of 'city', 'town', 'village', 'hamlet', 'suburb' in your result. With paramter zoom=10, use the first entry in the address field (or the first part of display_name up to the first comma.
Before you complain, this is an underlying data issue with OSM with a possible solution discussed already in #213. A discussion about the specific issues with suburbs not being suburbs in England is already in #231.
Hi.
How to get the city (town,village,hamlet) correctly, point by point?
What I do:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse.php?format=json&lat=51.896801191943&lon=-0.49737201287174&zoom=10&accept-language=en
"town":"Dunstable"
{"place_id":"138127","licence":"Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. http:\/\/www.openstreetmap.org\/copyright","osm_type":"node","osm_id":"26744103","lat":"51.8885447","lon":"-0.5161863","display_name":"Dunstable, Central Bedfordshire, East of England, England, LU5 4HD, United Kingdom","address":{"town":"Dunstable","county":"Central Bedfordshire","state_district":"East of England","state":"England","postcode":"LU5 4HD","country":"United Kingdom","country_code":"gb"},"boundingbox":["51.8085447","51.9685447","-0.5961863","-0.4361863"]}All perfectly. I get the town.
I make the following query with zoom 10
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse.php?format=json&lat=52.35925362&lon=-2.94525499&accept-language=en&zoom=10
No town
