[OSM-dev] Question Answering over OSM and searching by tags

[Dennis Diefenbach]

Hi Bryan,

thank you for your answer! I gave a rapid look at the API. I agree that it gives back point of interests in a give region, but what I was speaking about is something more “end-user” friendly. So an end-user cannot simply search for “tram stops in rome”. The only way is to construct a formal query like:

node
  [amenity=tram_stop]
  ({{bbox}});
out;

which is not trivial.
