This can be done with the Overpass API, not the OSM editing API

     way(around:25,LAT,LON)["maxspeed"];out;

This should give you all ways within 25 m of a point with the maxpseed 
tag. Be warned though: Most of the main overpass servers do have access 
limits, and building a business relying on things that can be shut off 
without warning might not be a good idea.
