[OSM-newbies] Overpass API to get all amenities?

[Tac Tacelosky]

I thought I found a solution to get all the ways and nodes with an
'amenity' tag, plus the nodes that make up the way, with this:

<osm-script>
<union>
<query type="way">
  <has-kv k="amenity" regv="."/>
  <bbox-query s="%s" w="%s" n="%s" e="%s"/>
</query>

<query type="node">
  <has-kv k="amenity" regv="."/>
  <bbox-query s="%s" w="%s" n="%s" e="%s"/>
</query>
</union>
<recurse type="way-node" />
<print/></osm-script>

Alas, that doesn't work.  I've tried with the recurse tag inside the union
tag, and throw an item tag around, but I'm still not getting it.  Can
someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Tac
