Do I need an API key?

No! Overpass API is completely free and open. No authentication required. Please be respectful with query sizes — avoid queries returning more than 10,000 elements.

What is a bounding box?

Can I search near my current location?

Yes! Use search_nearby or search_nearby_amenities with your GPS coordinates and a radius in meters (e.g. lat=40.7128, lon=-74.0060, radius=1000 for 1km around NYC).

What amenities can I search for?

Common amenities: restaurant, cafe, fast_food, bar, pub, hospital, clinic, pharmacy, school, university, library, atm, bank, fuel, parking, police, fire_station, post_office, toilets, cinema, theatre, nightclub, museum.
