Hi,
I am a GSoC student making a script using pywikibot to find categories for Images on commons[0]. One thing I was trying was to use the GPS coordinateds given by the camera (in EXIF data) to find the location and add the place's category to it. For example, if I take an image of the Eiffel Tower it should auto add Category:Paris to it.
For this, I was trying to use the Nominatim service from OSM. http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org is not meant for bulk finding the geolocations and limits the query rate at 1 query / minute.
I was wondering whether the OSM api was also available on maps.wikimedia.org ? And whether the Nominatim API is hosted and working ? I wasn't able to find any documentation about it. Also, is there any documentation on query limits and so on ?
Regards, Abdeali JK
