Make sure PGDG repo available:
pig repo add pgdg -u # add pgdg repo and update cacheInstall this extension with pig:
pig install nominatim_fdw; # install via package name, for the active PG version
pig install nominatim_fdw -v 18; # install for PG 18
pig install nominatim_fdw -v 17; # install for PG 17

CREATE EXTENSION nominatim_fdw;Usage
Sources: README, Nominatim API
nominatim_fdw is a PostgreSQL foreign data wrapper for Nominatim geocoding services. Upstream exposes it through SQL functions mapped to the Nominatim search, reverse, and lookup endpoints rather than through foreign tables.
Create a server
CREATE EXTENSION nominatim_fdw;
CREATE SERVER osm
FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER nominatim_fdw
OPTIONS (url 'https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org');Documented server options:
url(required)http_proxyconnect_timeoutmax_connect_retrymax_connect_redirect
Proxy credentials belong in a user mapping:
CREATE USER MAPPING FOR pguser
SERVER osm
OPTIONS (proxy_user 'myuser', proxy_password 'mysecret');Geocoding functions
Structured or free-form search:
SELECT osm_id, ref, lon, lat, boundingbox
FROM nominatim_search(
server_name => 'osm',
street => 'Neubrueckenstrasse 63',
city => 'Muenster',
country => 'Germany'
);
SELECT osm_id, display_name, lon, lat
FROM nominatim_search(
server_name => 'osm',
q => '1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC'
);Reverse lookup:
SELECT osm_id, display_name, boundingbox
FROM nominatim_reverse(
server_name => 'osm',
lon => -77.0365,
lat => 38.8977,
zoom => 18,
addressdetails => true
);OSM object lookup:
SELECT osm_id, display_name
FROM nominatim_lookup(
server_name => 'osm',
osm_ids => 'W121736959,R123456'
);The README notes OSM ID prefixes such as N for nodes, W for ways, and R for relations.
Notes
- Upstream documents PostgreSQL 12+,
libxml22.5.0+, andlibcurl7.74.0+. - The extension exposes
nominatim_fdw_version(). - The current README documents
CREATE EXTENSION ... WITH VERSION '1.3'andALTER EXTENSION ... UPDATE TO '1.3', so upstream has moved past the requested1.2refresh target.
