Try "overpass turbo" (OT) for such queries. Here is a sample, and the query language (OverPass QL) is text-based and OSM-friendly, as it uses the tags you're searching for:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/BQ6" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/BQ6</a><br>
<br>
When it dialogs that the query will return a lot of data, click the "continue anyway" button and wait a few seconds. The data are returned visually and you can export them in various formats (raw OSM data, GeoJSON, GPX, KML). Look to the left column to see how easy the tags are and read our wiki on OT for rich and rewarding documentation.<br>

Have fun,<br>
