FAQ

Questions Overpass API owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I find all restaurants in a specific city using this server?

    You can ask the agent to use the execute_query capability with an Overpass QL string, for example: [out:json];area[name='Berlin'];node(area)[amenity=restaurant];out;. The agent will handle the execution and present the results.

  • 02

    Can I download raw map data for a specific coordinate range?

    Yes. Use the get_map capability and provide the bounding box coordinates in the format min_lon,min_lat,max_lon,max_lat. This will return the raw OSM data for that area.

  • 03

    What should I do if the API returns a rate limit error?

    Run the get_status capability. It will show you how many slots are available and if there is a cooldown period active for your IP address.
