Andy already mentioned the new XAPI implementation.

Last summer I wrote a POI API [1]. The wiki pages should contain setup
information and query examples. If you have questions, feel free to
ask.

There is a (weak) demonstration server with data covering a tiny area
at [2]. You probably want to do something like [3] or [4].
