Sources¶

Our geocoding and search database contains data from multiple sources. You can use the source information in two ways:

• To limit the search using the sources parameter to any geocoding and search endpoint (as a comma-separated list such as wof,gn)
• To determine the usefulness or relevance of a result (though in most cases, the layer is more useful)

By default, the APIs will return results from any data source available, except for Foursquare, which is currently in beta. (We expect the beta period to last 1-2 months.) To filter results by source, specify one or more valid source names in a comma-delimited list using the sources parameter.
