Finding features in irregular regions with OpenStreetMapX.jl

[healyp]

Is there a way to restrict the boundary of OpenStreetMapX.jl to irregular polygonal regions? For example, I would like to find all the public water fountains in the 11^eme arrondissement of Paris. Can this be done?

Many thanks.

for me - the simplest solution for small osm data:

• go https://overpass-turbo.eu/
• Wizard:
  • amenity=fountain in "11e arrondissement de Paris"
    • https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1k6g
• Export → GeoJSON or Osm

As I see the Overpass-API is not yet supported:

• overpassquery · Issue #4 · pszufe/OpenStreetMapX.jl · GitHub

for an extra large extract - I am using osmium tool with multiple steps.

• osmium extract --polygon POLYGON-FILE [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE
  • extract OSM data with “11e arrondissement de Paris”` polygon
• osmium tags-filter [OPTIONS ] OSM-FILE FILTER-EXPRESSION …
  • filter amenity=fountain

OSM tagging:

• wiki: Key:fountain - OpenStreetMap Wiki
• taginfo: fountain | Keys | OpenStreetMap Taginfo

for a “public” water fountain …

• you have filtered out the ‘access=’ access | Keys | OpenStreetMap Taginfo values.

Alternative - with Julia <-> Python packages

• GitHub - mvexel/overpass-api-python-wrapper: Python bindings for the OpenStreetMap Overpass API
  • pip install overpass
• GitHub - DinoTools/python-overpy: Python Wrapper to access the Overpass API
  • pip install overpy
