# NZ Place Search

This repository provides a simple tool for searching places in NZ.

## Live version

A live test site is available at https://nz-places.now.sh

(the API is available at https://nz-places.now.sh/api/search?query=Aoraki)

## Run a local search server

`npm run start`

The server should be accessible on `localhost:3000`.

## Querying

Query the server at `/api/search/query={query}`.

For example:

Querying `http://localhost:3000/api/search?query=Aoraki` will result in the following json:

```json

[

    {

        "gazId": "26004",

        "name": "Aoraki/Mount Cook",

        "lon": "170.141926",

        "lat": "-43.595348",

        "type": "hill"

    },

    {

        "gazId": "26005",

        "name": "Aoraki/Mount Cook",

        "lon": "170.098209",

        "lat": "-43.735107",

        "type": "town"

    },

    {

        "gazId": "48301",

        "name": "Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park",

        "lon": "170.285431",

        "lat": "-43.599748",

        "type": "national park"

    },

    {

        "osmId": 2625064349,

        "name": "Aoraki / Mount Cook",

        "lat": -43.5950017,

        "lon": 170.1421677,

        "type": "peak"

    }

]

```

## Update place data

1. rm `data/osm_natural_nz_places.json`

2. `npm run update-data` to refetch the data from OSM.
