Hi, there!
I need to query some places of interest within an area. Due to the limitation of places in responf I need to perform a sequence of quries excluding already processed places. Unfortunately I’ve found out that exclude_place_ids query item doesn’t work with the viewbox. Is there any workaround for that?
So you are trying to use Nominatim to systematically download a certain kind of POI in an area. It looks like the exclude_place_ids indeed got overlooked in the implementation for search-POI-by-type but I’m leaning towards declaring it a feature instead of a bug.
I refer you to the Nominatim usage policy, in particular the part about unacceptable uses. I recommend that you use Overpass API instead.
If it doesn’t work together, then it is a bug. Please post an example of a query that made you conclude that the two parameters don’t work together.
