What this does not say
Quoted verbatim from the section’s warnings field, exactly as the API returns it. They are not translated: a translation would show something other than what your response actually contains.
- Derived geometric proximity. Missing source data and historic coverage must not be interpreted as no nearby feature.
Fields
14 of 14 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps. Fields marked “open” return values to anonymous callers; the rest require a key.

| nearest_river_distance_m | number | null (m) | value | open |

Fetch this section
Send the key in the X-API-Key header. The section can be fetched with the rest of the address, or on its own with pagination.

This is a real call against the public demo, from here. What appears below is what the API returned — not a sample.
