Nearest amenity of a type API

Find the single nearest amenity of a given type (pharmacy, supermarket, hospital, fuel, ATM, bus_stop, ...) to a point within a max radius via Overpass, with distance, name, opening hours, and a few nearby alternates. Distinct from a POI list: returns the closest-first answer. Answers 'where is the nearest pharmacy', 'closest supermarket to these coordinates', 'how far is the nearest hospital'.
