[HOT] Admin Boundary Extraction Service

[Samuel Aiyeoribe]

Thank you Blake,
This looks promising. Even though i use Overpass turbo several times, i haven't looked into the overpass api.
I will be happy to receive other suggestions and people's experiences.
Cheers Samuel Aiyeoribe

 Hi Samuel,

I have used overpass-turbo.eu to extract just admin boundaries before
and it seems to work well.

I then have to pass the results over to JOSM and download the missing
members to get all the points and ways that make up the boundaries,
but that is probably because I do not know overpass-turbo well enough
to have it grab all the elements automatically.

overpass-turbo consists of 2 major parts, the web front (Overpass
Turbo) and the Overpass-API which handles searching OSM data, both are
available from GitHub. Overpass-API works with local .osm.gz files so
it can take a full OSM Planet file and minutely updates and run
totally locally.

Probably not the easiest solution to your question, but at least you
can try out Overpass-Turbo and make sure it does what you want before
you try and run it locally.

Here is one I used last week for one of our contacts who needed admin
boundaries for Serbia: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/cx8

Like, I said, there might be simpler (I hope) answers to your
question, but Overpass is one I think.

Cheers,
blake
