Original: Did You Know? Mapbox Geocoding API Lets You Filter by Feature Type
Short summary
The Mapbox Geocoding API supports a types parameter that filters results to specific feature levels — place (city), district (county), region (state), or postcode (ZIP). Instead of receiving all feature types at once, you can request only the granularity you need, reducing payload size and simplifying downstream logic. The post includes concrete curl examples and JSON response samples for each filter level.
