This is a thin wrapper around the OpenStreetMap Overpass API.
pip install overpass
Simplest example:
import overpass
api = overpass.API()
response = api.get('node["name"="Salt Lake City"]')response will be a dictionary representing the JSON output you would
get from the Overpass API
directly.
Note that the Overpass query passed to get() should not contain any
out or other meta statements.
Another example:
>>> print [(
... feature['properties']['name'],
... feature['id']) for feature in response["features"]]
[(u'Salt Lake City', 150935219), (u'Salt Lake City', 585370637)]You can find more examples in the examples/ directory of this
repository.
You can set the response type of your query using get()’s
responseformat parameter to GeoJSON (geojson, the default),
plain JSON (json), CSV (csv), and OSM XML (xml).
response = api.get('node["name"="Salt Lake City"]', responseformat="xml")The API object takes a few parameters:
The default endpoint is https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter but
you can pass in another instance:
api = overpass.API(endpoint=https://overpass.myserver/interpreter)The default timeout is 25 seconds, but you can set it to whatever you want.
api = overpass.API(timeout=600)Setting this to True will get you debug output.
In addition to just sending your query and parse the result, the wrapper provides shortcuts for often used map queries. To use them, just pass them like to normal query to the API.
This is a shorthand for a complete ways and relations query in a bounding box (the ‘map call’). You just pass the bounding box to the constructor:
MapQuery = overpass.MapQuery(50.746,7.154,50.748,7.157)
response = api.get(MapQuery)This is shorthand for getting a set of ways and their child nodes that satisfy certain criteria. Pass the criteria as a Overpass QL stub to the constructor:
WayQuery = overpass.WayQuery('[name="Highway 51"]')
response = api.get(WayQuery)Using pytest.
