[OSM-talk] overpass query to get last used editor

[Pierre Béland]

Hi Roland,

It is possible to interrogate the OSM-API to obtain the list of changesets for a given bbox and then the general infos about the changeset. Contents is likehttp://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changeset/16716501


But the problem is that we are limited in the no. of changesets to access. 

What are the other options to obtain various changesets for a given period? If this was possible, it would be possible to select changesets crossing a specific bbox.

Pierre

Hi,

> Is it possible to also get the editor used by the last user?

No, it is not possible to get the last used piece of software to change 
a given object.

This information is present, if at all, in the changesets comments. 
Changesets comments don't go into the ordinary diffs. Thus Overpass API 
never even sees these comments.

I would basically be happy to also provide changesets comments in the 
long run, but at the moment I don't know from what kind of feed (could 
also be XML diffs) I can get them from. Please note that even then it is 
optional for an editing software to put information about itself into 
the changeset.

Cheers,

Roland
