#' Geocode amenities
#'
#' @description
#' Searches [amenities][osm_amenities] as defined by OpenStreetMap in a
#' restricted area defined by a bounding box in the form
#' `(<xmin>, <ymin>, <xmax>, <ymax>)` and returns the
#' [`tibble`][tibble::tibble] associated with the query. See
#' [geo_amenity_sf()] for retrieving the data as an [`sf`][sf::st_sf] object.
#'
#' @family amenity
#' @family geocoding
#' @encoding UTF-8
#'
#' @param bbox The bounding box (viewbox) used to limit the search. It can be
#'   a numeric vector of **longitude** (`x`) and **latitude** (`y`) in the form
#'   `(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax)`, or a [`sf`][sf::st_sf] or
#'   [`sfc`][sf::st_sfc] object. See **Details**.
#' @param amenity `character` value or vector with the amenities to geocode,
#'   for example `c("pub", "restaurant")`. See [osm_amenities].
#' @param strict Logical `TRUE/FALSE`. Force the results to be included inside
#'   the `bbox`. Nominatim's default behavior may return results
#'   located outside the provided bounding box.
