<br>The only documented API call for trackpoints is <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.3/trackpoints?bbox=blon,bllat,trlon,trlat&page=0">http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.3/trackpoints?bbox=blon,bllat,trlon,trlat&page=0
</a> which gets all trackpoints within a bounding box and returns just the lat and lon for each trackpoint.
