A simple but powerful Python interface to the Overpass API.

Examples

Searching for all nodes named “Salt Lake City”

>>> import overpass
>>> api = overpass.API()
>>> response = api.get('node["name"="Salt Lake City"]')
>>> print [(
...     feature['properties']['name'],
...     feature['id']) for feature in response["features"]]
[(u'Salt Lake City', 150935219), (u'Salt Lake City', 585370637)]

This would output two nodes:

• 150935219, representing the label for the place=city relation named Salt Lake City
• 585370637, a now-deleted node representing a landuse=quarry named Salt Lake City
