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

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hello Ander,

I have an API for generating OSM data as geojson from a PostGIS database. The live api is part of the UK-orientated Freemap site and currently works with selected areas of the UK only, see

http://www.free-map.org.uk/0.6/about.html

However the code is open source and should in theory work with any OSM-derived PostGIS database.

Look at

https://github.com/nickw1/Freemap

(look inside 0.6/ws. There are two services, tsvr.php which takes an xyz tile definition and bsvr.php which takes a bbox and projection/SRID).

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.
