Getting list of result from GeoPy Nominatim

Question

How can I get list of possible result in Nominatim?

My code is

geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent="[email protected]")
location = geolocator.geocode("School")
location.raw

but unfortunately it only shows one result

geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent="[email protected]")

location = geolocator.geocode("School")

location.raw

{'place_id': 174509566,
 'licence': 'Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. https://osm.org/copyright',
 'osm_type': 'way',
 'osm_id': 353533683,
 'boundingbox': ['35.5912514', '35.594524', '-78.8117411', '-78.8064663'],
 'lat': '35.5928655',
 'lon': '-78.80864240000005',
 'display_name': 'School, Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, North Carolina, United States',
 'class': 'place',
 'type': 'neighbourhood',
 'importance': 0.36}

But I wanted to get list of possible result.

Answer 1

Look at the Taras's answer in Get state but want country in GeoPy and Nominatim:

When you try embedding exactly_one=False parameter (by default it is True) into your code

And in geopy.geocoders.Nominatim.geocode

geocode(query, *, exactly_one=True, timeout=DEFAULT_SENTINEL, limit=None, addressdetails=False, language=False, geometry=None, extratags=False, country_codes=None, viewbox=None, bounded=False, featuretype=None, namedetails=False)

Therefore:

location = geolocator.geocode("School") #= geolocator.geocode("School"), exactly_one=True)
print(location.raw)

And

location = geolocator.geocode("School"), exactly_one=False)
for loc in location:
    print(loc.raw)
