Nominatim heavy use

Hello, I’m currently doing a project where I need to find the GPS coordinates of many cities that I know by name.
The nominatim API comes very handy but can only be used once every second and I ve got thousands of records.
Is there any way to use it more often ?
I was thinking about downloading the data locally but I would like to use the search engine of numatim because it’s pretty powerful.
Do you have any idea about how I should proceed ?
Thanks in advance !:slight_smile:

You can install your own nominatim: http://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/appendix/Install-on-Ubuntu-18/ .

If you have the exact names you could build a query in overpass turbo.
