Nominatim API Bug: postal code #5177

Author: lonvia The parameters are case-sensitive 'postalcode' works, 'postalCode' is silently ignored by Nominatim. The reason the first query does not work is that post code 4000 does not yet seem to be mapped for Basel (or wasn't 2 years ago, the postcode data is only partially updated), so Nominatim cannot find a match for the query. Second query just looks for Basel and that works fine. |

Author: pmiller.live[at]gmail.com Thanks Ionvia for your quick response. I will keep the ZIP code for now but keep an eye on it. |

Hi OSM folks,
I've come across a small bug within the geocoding api nominatim
The API documentation [1] says, searching for postal code should be done with the 'postalcode' parameter.
The documented parameter does not give any results for some cities, e.g.:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?postalcode=4000&city=Basel&countrycodes=CH&format=json
Changing the 'postalcode' parameter to 'postalCode' for no obvious reasons gives results:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?postalCode=4000&city=Basel&countrycodes=CH&format=json
Please verify that the correct API documentation is present and/or explain the situation, that would be a great help :)
Thanks!
Paul
