[OSM-talk] OSMXAPI stable?

[bernhard]

Hi all

I would like to show the XAPI to my students.
But it seams that all XAPI Servers are very slow or out of function.

The students should learn something about Location Based Services and my 
idea was to show
how to retrieve Points of Interest from OSM.

With XAPI it would be easy:
wget 
http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/node[amenity=restaurant][bbox=15.5337,48.1732,15.7161,48.2362] 
-o osm.xml


But if the XAPI is not working I have to cancel that.
Or is there a similar service I can use for that?

thanks

Bernhard
