Points-Of-Interest (POI) Service
NOTE
This endpoint is not part of the openrouteservice, but of our public API. It is not available when running an own instance of openrouteservice.
The openpoiservice is a stand-alone service from HeiGIT that returns points of interest in the area surrounding a geometry.
It is a separate flask-based python application and lives in a separate GitHub repository, where you can also find more detailed documentation.
A complete and concise overview of all request parameters and return types can be found in the API Playground.
POI categories
The POI stored in the openpoiservice database are organized in category groups and categories. Below you find tables containing the related names for the category_group_ids
and the subordinate category_ids
.
