[OSM-talk] Overpass area query gives results outside area...

[Pierre Béland]

There were few examples given over the last year.  To use the relation no., you need to add 3600000000 to it.

      192775 Relation
+ 3600000000
= 3600192775

These instructiions extract all nodes with the tag place inside the limits of Dakar.

node ["place"]
(area:3600192775);
out meta;

Hi!

Searching areas by area is not yet supported in Overpass API. See this  
feature request:

  https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API/issues/45

This is also not yet implemented, unfortunately:

  https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API/issues/55


If you only want to get the administrative area "Dakar": Why not simply  
using something like this:

   area[name="Dakar"][boundary=administrative];
   out;

This works as long as there isn't another city with the same name  
somewhere else.

Martin
