API Endpoints

Note

For POST requests the fields are given analogous to GET requests. When you just have a smaller set of spatial parameters, a GET request fits perfectly. POST mostly makes sense when you start to use GeoJSON as input geometries.

The usage of the parameters types, keys and values is not recommended as they are deprecated. Please use the filter parameter for your requests.

Elements Aggregation

POST /elements/(aggregation)

Get aggregation of OSM elements.

  • aggregation type: one of area, count, length, perimeter

Query Parameters:

  • <boundary> – One of these boundary parameters: bboxes, bcircles, bpolys. See boundaries

  • time – ISO-8601 conform timestring(s); default: latest timestamp in the OSHDB, see time

  • filter – combines several attributive filters: OSM type, geometry (simple feature) type, as well as the OSM tag; See filter

  • format – ‘json’ or ‘csv’; default: ‘json’

  • showMetadata – add additional metadata information to the response: ‘true’, ‘false’, ‘yes’, ‘no’; default: ‘false’

  • timeout – custom timeout to limit the processing time in seconds; default: dependent on server settings, retrievable via the /metadata request

  • types – Deprecated! Use filter parameter instead! Old parameter which allowed to specify OSM type(s) ‘node’ and/or ‘way’ and/or ‘relation’ OR simple feature type(s) ‘point’ and/or ‘line’ and/or ‘polygon’ and/or ‘other’; default: all three OSM types

  • keys – Deprecated! Use filter parameter instead! Old parameter which allowed to specify OSM key(s) given as a list and combined with the ‘AND’ operator; default: empty

  • values – Deprecated! Use filter parameter instead! Old parameter which allowed to specify OSM value(s) given as a list and combined with the ‘AND’ operator; values(n) MUST fit to keys(n); default: empty

If the contributionType parameter is let empty, the result could contain contributions that do not effect geometries or tags.

  • time – required; must consist of two ISO-8601 conform timestrings defining a time interval; no default value

  • properties – specifies what properties should be included for each feature representing an OSM element: ‘tags’ and/or ‘metadata’; multiple values can be delimited by commas; default: empty

  • clipGeometry – sboolean operator to specify whether the returned geometries of the features should be clipped to the query’s spatial boundary (‘true’), or not (‘false’); default: ‘true’

Contributions Extraction

POST /contributions/(geometryType)

Get the contributions provided to the OSM data. This endpoint does not support the deprecated types, keys, values parameters. This endpoint supports the geometry types bbox, centroid and geometry.

Query Parameters:

  • <other> – see above (except format)

  • time – required; must consist of two ISO-8601 conform timestrings defining a time interval; no default value

  • properties – specifies what properties should be included for each feature representing an OSM element: ‘tags’ and/or ‘metadata’ and/or ‘contributionTypes’; metadata gets also the contribution types until v2.0; multiple values can be delimited by commas; no default value

  • clipGeometry – boolean operator to specify whether the returned geometries of the features should be clipped to the query’s spatial boundary (‘true’), or not (‘false’); default: ‘true’

Example request:

Get the changes of pharmacies with opening hours in a certain area of Heidelberg in times of COVID-19

curl -X GET 'https://api.ohsome.org/v1/contributions/geometry?bboxes=8.6720%2C49.3988%2C8.7026%2C49.4274&filter=amenity=pharmacy%20and%20opening_hours=*%20and%20type:node&time=2020-02-01%2C2020-06-29&showMetadata=yes&properties=metadata%2Ctags&clipGeometry=false'
