#' Address lookup API
#'
#' @description
#' The lookup API queries the address and other details of one or more
#' OSM objects, such as nodes, ways or relations, and returns the
#' [`tibble`][tibble::tibble] associated with the query. See
#' [geo_address_lookup_sf()] for retrieving the data as an [`sf`][sf::st_sf]
#' object.
#'
#' @family lookup
#' @family geocoding
#' @encoding UTF-8
#'
#' @param osm_ids Vector of OSM identifiers as numeric values, for example
#'   `c(00000, 11111, 22222)`.
#' @param type Character vector of the OSM object type associated with each
#'   `osm_ids` value. Possible values are node (`"N"`), way (`"W"`) or
#'   relation (`"R"`). If a single value is provided, it will be recycled.
