About

OpenStreetMap is a giant volunteer-made map, and Overpass is its query language. You can ask for things like 'all playgrounds within 2 miles of here' or 'every drinking-water fountain in this park' in a single request. No account is needed, but the community asks you to be gentle with the shared servers.

Setup

  1. No signup. Send queries straight to https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter.
  2. Start with the small examples in the Language Guide before widening your search area.
  3. Keep queries tight: small areas and specific tags (like amenity=cafe) run fastest.
  4. Space out repeat requests and cache answers to stay within fair use.
