Overpass API JSON

.json · application/json

Overpass JSON is the response format of the Overpass API, a read-only query language over OpenStreetMap (Roland Olbricht, since 2008). It is a compact JSON with a list of elements (node/way/relation), their geometry, tags, and a meta block — the structure parsed directly by osmnx, the QGIS QuickOSM plugin, overpass-turbo, and dozens of pipelines that use OSM as a structured dataset. Our exporter builds JSON of the same structure from the OSM layers: each feature becomes an element of the appropriate type with id, coordinates, geometry, and tags, plus a meta section with generator and version. Honestly: we synthesize an Overpass-format-compatible response from our selection — this is not a live Overpass API query, but the result can be handed to downstream tools as a drop-in replacement for a public Overpass response.

Overpass JSON форматы туралы

Overpass JSON is the response format of the Overpass API, the query language for OpenStreetMap data. It is compact JSON: an elements array where every object is a node, way or relation with its coordinates, geometry and tags, plus a service meta block. This structure is read directly by OSMnx, the QuickOSM plugin for QGIS, overpass-turbo and dozens of research pipelines.

The format is chosen when OSM is used as a structured dataset: counting objects by tags, assembling a street graph, exporting points of interest into your own script. A ready file instead of a live query removes the two familiar Overpass problems — rate limits and timeouts on large selections — and it also makes the result reproducible: you hold a fixed snapshot of the data.

The exporter synthesizes a response of the same structure from your selection: points become node elements with coordinates, lines and polygons become way elements with a node list and geometry, tags are carried over as they are, and the generator and version are written into meta. Identifiers are issued by us from a separate range so as not to collide with real OSM numbers; the size of a single file is limited to a hundred thousand elements. This is not a live query to Overpass but a compatible replacement for its response.

Overpass JSON карталарын кім пайдаланады

🏗
Feeding osmnx as a replacement for a public Overpass API response
The data is fed into OSMnx and similar tools instead of a response from the public Overpass — with no waiting and no rate limits.
💻
Loading a selection into QGIS through the QuickOSM plugin
The selection opens in QGIS through the QuickOSM plugin like an ordinary Overpass result.
📊
A reproducible data snapshot for research without rate limits
A fixed snapshot of the data for a study: the result is reproducible half a year later too.
🎨
Driving custom Python parsers that expect the Overpass format
Your own scripts and pipelines, already written for the Overpass format, work without rewriting.
