overpasser

Fluid Java interface to OpenStreetMap data through querying the Overpass API. No more query string forging by hand!

Example code

An Overpass query like this:

["out":"json"]["timeout":"30"]; (
  node

["amenity"="parking"]

["access"!="private"]

(47.48047027491862,19.039797484874725,47.51331674014172,19.07404761761427);

<; );
 out body center qt 100; 

...can be expressed like:

String query = new OverpassQuery()

.format(JSON)

.timeout(30)

.filterQuery()

 .node()

 .amenity("parking")

 .tagNot("access", "private")

 .boundingBox(

  47.48047027491862, 19.039797484874725,

  47.51331674014172, 19.07404761761427

 )

.end()

.output(OutputVerbosity.BODY, OutputModificator.CENTER, OutputOrder.QT, 100)

.build() ;

...or you can just use .output(100) at the end to use the defaults.

Language support

• Settings
  • output format
  • timeout
  • output parameters - verbosity, modificators, sort order
• Filter queries
  • selecting nodes, ways, relations, areas
  • setting a bounding box globally
  • setting a bounding box for a filter query
• Tag filter expressions
  • check tag exists
  • exact matching by tag value (and negation)
  • regex matching by tag value (and negation)
  • multiple tag values

Modules

• library: core functionality in a standalone module
  • only Java dependencies
  • its purpose is to generate the string you can query the overpass-api server with
• library-retrofit-adapter: Retrofit adapter towards the overpass-api server
  • it will handle sending your generated query to the server and parsing the results
  • the results are returned in a simple POJO class
  • for further info regarding network communication and error handling, please refer to Retrofit documentation
  • uses Retrofit 2.1.0
• library-retrofit-legacy-adapter: for Retrofit 1.9
• sample: an Android sample application using both of the above modules to query for and display the public parking lots within the boundaries of the map

Download
