Query parameters

referencepointintegerOptional

Reference point geometry is the basis from which the distance value is calculated. Output is ordered by ascending distance from given reference point only if parameter has been specified.

maxresultsinteger · min: 1 · max: 100Optional

The maximum number of results to return. Default: 100.

Default: 100

offsetintegerOptional

Offset the list of returned results by this amount.

Default: 0

datasetstring · enumOptional

The dataset to return. Multiple values can be sent, separated by a comma. Default: DPA.

Default: DPAPossible values:

lrstring · enumOptional

Which language of addresses to return. Default: EN, CY.

Possible values:

output_srsstring · enumOptional

The intended output spatial reference system. Default: EPSG:27700

Default: EPSG:27700Possible values:

srsstring · enumOptional

The spatial reference system for the input coordinate set.

Possible values:

fqstring[]Optional

Filter for classification code, logical status code, LPI logical status code and/or country code. Filtering for classification code will accept wildcard ( * ) searches. Multiple searches can be done by separating the codes with a space. Multiple filters can be used together by including the parameter multiple times

Example: ["CLASSIFICATION_CODE:CI CLASSIFICATION_CODE:RD","LOGICAL_STATUS_CODE:6","LPI_LOGICAL_STATUS_CODE:3","COUNTRY_CODE:EN"]
