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

[Jukka Rahkonen]

Hi,

WFS servers, like Geoserver and TinyOWS, can deliver data also as GeoJSON.
This query sends the Finnish waste baskets from OSM data as GeoJSON

http://188.64.1.61/cgi-bin/tinyows?service=wfs&version=1.1.0&request=getfeature&typename=tows:osm_point&maxfeatures=10000&filter=%3CFilter%20%20xmlns:ogc=%22http://www.opengis.net/ogc%22%3E%3CPropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3CPropertyName%3Etows:amenity%3C/PropertyName%3E%3CLiteral%3Ewaste_basket%3C/Literal%3E%3C/PropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3C/Filter%3E&outputformat=application/json

All that I have done was to import OSM data with osm2pgsql and publish the
resulting PostGIS tables with TinyOWS as WFS feature types. I am sorry
about the ugly filter, but it is the OGC way for doing queries.
