Infrastructure, transport and communications
Utility networks, transport and communications: power, street lighting, water supply, waste handling, road classes and surfaces, cycle lanes, the pedestrian network, stops, bridges and tunnels, ferries, airfields, masts and data centres. Mostly this is an export of objects with their attributes plus coverage counts.
Tools in this group: 21
Emergency services
emergency-services
Exports fire stations, police, hospitals and ambulance stations and estimates the coverage of the territory by them.

Power grid
power-grid
Exports power lines, substations, generation and towers from the OSM power tags.
Calculate right here
No extra parameters — the bounding box is enough for this tool.
Street lighting
street-lighting
Shows which roads and paths are tagged as lit and estimates the share of the network that is lit.

Public transport
public-transport
Exports the stops and stations of the chosen mode of transport and estimates the coverage of the territory by them.

Input, output and limits
The input is a rectangular bounding box in WGS84 plus one of nine data layers; some tools also take a point. The output is GeoJSON, JSON metrics or a GeoTIFF.
| Layer | What it holds |
|---|---|
| buildings | buildings |
| roads | roads and streets |
| poi | points of interest: services, shops, tourism |
| water | water bodies |
| green_areas | green areas: parks, forests, lawns |
| railways | railways |
| boundaries | administrative boundaries |
| landuse | land use |
| waterways | waterways |
Every tool in the section is free. The bounding box may cover up to 100 km². Rate limits are 10 requests per minute per tool run and 30 requests per minute for reading the catalogue. Without signing in you get up to 10 successful calculations a day; after that the service asks you to register and answers 402 with the code login_required. A box larger than the allowed area is also 402, and an unknown tool id is 404.
