Overpass Api De Overpass API

The Overpass API is a read-only API serving custom-selected parts of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data. It acts as a database-over-the-web where clients send queries in the Overpass QL query language and receive filtered map data in return. Optimized for data consumers needing a few elements instantly or up to roughly 10 million elements in minutes, it supports queries for nodes, ways, relations, tags, and geographic bounding boxes. Use it to extract POI data, analyze road networks, retrieve building footprints, power location-based apps, or build custom map visualizations from OSM.
