Many people know Nominatim simply as a web service, while in fact it is a powerful geocoding software. There are many ways to adapt your personal installation to your specific needs. To make it easier to use the full potential of Nominatim, the website now has a new Cookbook section.

Under the Cookbook menu you will in the future be able to find tutorials for customizing your Nominatim installation, how-tos how to use your own Nominatim API on websites, batch geocoding and other less conventional uses.

The first tutorial about transliteration shows how to extend the ICU tokenizer with your own custom Python code.

The Cookbook also collects talks and workshops about Nominatim. There you find everything from gentle introductions to geocoding to talks about the internals of the software.
