OpenStreetMap emphasizes local knowledge. Contributors use aerial imagery, GPS devices, and low-tech field maps to verify that OSM is accurate and up to date.
OpenStreetMap has an editing API for fetching and saving raw geodata from/to the OpenStreetMap database — this is the entry page for the documentation. If you just want to embed a map into a webpage, you don't want this API. Use a web map library instead.
OpenStreetMap (OSM) provides a public API that allows developers to access various features of the OSM map data. The API provides a range of functionality that includes reading map data, making edits to the map, and creating custom applications with OSM data.
API v0.6 is the current version of the OSM Editing API originally deployed 17-21 April 2009. This page and the API has been extended and updated multiple times since April 2009: In July 2018 after numerous other smaller backwards compatible changes.
API. The main API is the method of obtaining OSM data used by editors, as this is the only method of changing the OSM data in the live database. The API page provides a link to the specification of the protocol to be used to obtain data. Its limitations are: it will only return very small areas < 0.25deg square.
OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license. Hosting is supported by Fastly, OSMF corporate members, and other partners.
API Usage policy. This forms part of a set of usage policies governing core OpenStreetMap services. Note that ‘API’ relates to the data editing API. For developers accessing maps (often using javascript “APIs”) the OpenStreetMap Tile Usage Policy is more relevant.
You can use CloudMade's Geocoding API to search for an island in the OpenStreetMap data. The API will return the geometry of the result by default, and this sounds to me what you are looking for. For example, Arran off the coast of Scotland can be found by the following http request: http://geocoding.cloudmade.com ...
If you just need to work with a certain region you can use extracts in various formats such as the native .OSM (stored as XML), .PBF (A compressed version of .OSM), Shapefile or GeoJSON. There are also different API possible such as the native OSM API or the Nominatim API.
This API is commonly used to search OSM data by name and address and to generate synthetic addresses of OSM points (reverse geocoding). In this post, I will be introducing you to the main 3 ...
