Dear All.

OpenStreetMap Have Any service like Google Api Places? where Can They get data from places 
Such as pub, cafe, food, etc. .. Where parameters are pass by the URL and the service 
returns an XML document, or JSON, With the interesting places.

For example a request to Google Api Places:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/xml?location=-33.8670522, 151.1957362 & 
radius = 500 & types = food & harbor & name = sensor = false & key = 
AIzaSyBKcG7xu25FcQD5Na_Z0uyr7SgtWhEbbh4

Google as always puts a lot of restrictions and their data are not quality because they 
are given by other providers (http://www.yellowpages.com.au/, http://www.mapcity.com/  ) 
bad , bad, bad...

Best regards!
