Hi everyone<br>
<br>
I was browsing through Winnipeg Transit's new PDDL API and
experimenting with the possibility of getting data from it. I
discovered a way to use a wildcard search to generate and XML file
with all addresses on a street that start with the same number. I
found a small street and manually created an OSM XML file for all
address which I double checked against Bing and found it accurate. I
did not import it. Is it worth creating a script to attempt to do
this on a larger scale, especially if the servers are throttled at
100 requests per IP per key per minute? One advantage is it only has
actual address, the reality of nonexistent houses (where the house
numbers skip several on a street, e.g. my house is 725, my neighbour
is 729, I have looked hard for 727 but can't find it) is one of the
biggest problems with interpolation. If you want to play around with
the API you can use <a

key. </a><br>
