[OSM-dev] Is there any API to get data from OSM as geoJson?

[Ander Pijoan]

Hi everyone

I am currently working with different technologies for showing OSM data in
slippy maps and I noticed that some of those maps would work better with
GeoJSON data format.

I use Overpass API for downloading data but it doesn't export in GeoJSON
format. The nearest approach would be to ask for it as OSM-JSON, store all
the nodes ids and locations, store all the ways ids and node refs and then
build the relations geometries but it's quite a big pain for browsers.

I've been looking for some info in OSM wiki but I haven't been able to find
nothing. Does anyone know if there exists something?

Thank you very much.
