#overpassapi — Public Fediverse posts

@robtherunt
the list of all the vegan places is quite small, like 2MB, so the we just send the entire list to everyone who looks at the map.

however, i think the #overpassapi query is heavy, so for now the server admin is manually updating it about once per month, to be polite.

if for some reason you need to demo a fully up-to-date version, feel free to just self-host it. it's light, because i programmed it on my old #android phone using #termux, so you can self-host from phone too.

the only dependency is curl, and any web server, like:
python3 -m http.server

map code is here:

I’m traveling at the moment so i often find myself pulling my laptop out on the train where internet is patchy.
So I’ve found myself setting up more stuff to work locally.
Thats how I found myself trying to compile and run a local copy of the Overpass API for querying open street map data… on a Mac. I’m typing this on my phone from memory so will provide references and corrections later when back at my laptop. #OSM #overpass #overpassturbo #overpassapi #openstreetmap

Crazy idea of the day:
could I use the Overpass API to find all possible weekend hiking trips in the alps?

I want to get tuples of tourism=alpine_hut which are not more than 7h walking distance from each other and can be either reached within 4,5h from a common parkinglot or have a bus stop within 4,5h walking distance.

From what I understand, even path distance sadly isn't trival in Overpass and generating such a query for a reasonable part of the alps probably means I need would need to set up my own OSM server with Overpass-API, right?

It really would be nice to not having to scan maps manually but actually being able to automate the process and get an automatic list of suggestions!

#TIL about this awesome interactive tool to explore toponyms in #GreatBritain called Grep Britain. 🇬🇧

(And for anything more complex and worldwide, there’s #OverpassAPI via #OverpassTurbo or #OverpassUltra using #OpenStreetMap data.)

Ich habe das Wochenende genutzt, um meine erstes package fertig zu schreiben:
Einen wrapper um die #Overpass API in #Julia.

@kaat0 macht dan­kens­wer­ter­wei­se noch ein Review und dann wird es hoffentlich bald gepublished.

Last weekend at #Puducherry, 5 of us from #FSHMPY walked around the #HeritageTown area and mapped the #streetlamps in #openstreetmap

The first image is before mapping and the 2nd image is after mapping. The screenshots are from the web page that I built over 2 days which queries street lights from #osm through #OverpassApi and renders it in the map taking the operational status into account.

The #StreetLight map can be explored here https://fsftn.gitlab.io/streetlight-map/#16/11.9338/79.8340

@OSMIndia @openstreetmap

I can't remember if I've shared this on here before but I made a tool that creates Animal Crossing style maps of real places using Overpass and @openstreetmap https://slowe.github.io/crossingify/ (You could choose any location by adding e.g. "?lat=53.8&lon=-1.55&name=Leeds" to the URL)

For the very first time I found something I was searching for via an #openstreetmap #OverpassAPI query!

I need a much better workflow, though.

1. edit query in #emacs
2. cut and paste in http://overpass-turbu.eu box
3. click button and wait

Just wrapped up Exercise 002 of @gralhix's fantastic OSINT challenges! This one sparked my interest in OpenStreetMap and the powerful Overpass Turbo query language.

Crafting my first Overpass Turbo query to tackle the geolocation challenge was a real thrill. I'm excited to dive deeper into the world of #OpenStreetMap and explore its potential for #OSINT investigations.

If any experienced #OSM users have resources, tips, or words of wisdom to share with a curious newcomer, I'm all ears! 🙏 Really keen to learn from the community and level up my skills.

Check out my full writeup on the challenge, including my novel (I think? 😅) approach using Overpass Turbo to identify the tallest building:

Big thanks to @gralhix for putting together such engaging and educational exercises! 🙌 Can't wait to tackle the next one.

Bin bloß ich es der die Overpass Api schrecklich dokumentiert findet? Da sind meiner Meinung nach so wenig brauchbare Beispiele dabei

Today has been learning how to use #OverpassAPI to return a list of coffee shops. Despite the steep learning curve, I've figured it out thanks to this #StackExchange 🧵 https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/292163/how-to-query-overpass-api-with-postman

Les PLU imposent certaines normes pour les bâtiments à moins de 500 mètres d'un bidule historique.
Quelles adresses sont à moins de 500 mètres d'une église à Paris?
une requête overpass vous permet de le voir:

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1sWP

la requête:

[out:json];

area[name="Paris"];
  way(area)[historic=yes]->.historic_place;
  (
    node(around.historic_place:500)["addr:housenumber"];
  );
  (._;>;);
  out body;

@tommy

Auch so, ja, ich bin am PC, hätte ich dazusagen sollen (aber du hast es wohl auch so erkannt).

(Ich mache wenig am Handy, vielleicht kann ich mir #OSMand später mal anschauen. Bekomme ich denn damit die Karte als PDF erstellt, oder als teilbaren Link? Dann könnte auch das schon eine Lösung sein! )

Irgendwer sagte mir mal die #OverpassApi / #OverpassTurbo wäre für sowas gut?!
Ich kenne mich damit aber nicht aus und - ehrliche Ansage - will mich da auch nicht reinfuxen müssen.
