Cannot query custom data after successful import

[woiza]

I imported the following csv file (extract):

name,address,source,layer,lat,lon
AD,AD,custom,postalcode,42.5357,1.5571
AR,36,custom,postalcode,-25.0178,-59.6472
AR,41,custom,postalcode,-26.883,-65.1956
AR,44,custom,postalcode,-25.0513,-65.2488
AR,45,custom,postalcode,-23.5455,-64.0472
AR,46,custom,postalcode,-23.2252,-65.5236
BD,55,custom,postalcode,26.1669,89.1228
BD,53,custom,postalcode,26.0142,88.9168
BD,50,custom,postalcode,25.9689,88.6808

The idea is to have 2 digit postalcodes of all countries (I used geonames' csv file for this). How can I query the api to get the coordinates for a 2 digit postalcode in a country?

Hey @woiza,
Sorry about that, and thanks for reporting this. There's an extra configuration step required for custom data that wasn't well documented. I just opened pelias/api#1297 and #37 to fix it. Can you take a look at those PRs and tell me if the explanations are clear?

Thanks!

Hi @orangejulius
Should be fine now. I added the following to my pelias config:

"api": {
"targets": {
"canonical_sources": [
"whosonfirst",
"openstreetmap",
"openaddresses",
"geonames"
],
"layers_by_source": {
"geonames2d": [
"country",
"postalcode",
"source",
"layer"
],

Is there anything else I have to do?
