Create a 'changeset' using api

Question

Hi, I'm creating a client for OSM api. I'm failing to create a changeset. (I'm using developers' url). I'm sending followings in header. oauth_token,oauth_consumer_key,oauth_signature_method,oauth_version,oauth_nonce,oauth_timestamp And message body as follows:

<osm>
<changeset><tag k="A" v="Aaa"/><tag k="B" v="Bbb"/><tag k="c" v="Ccc"/></changeset>
<changeset><tag k="B" v="Bbl"/></changeset>
<changeset><tag k="A" v="Aab"/><tag k="F" v="Afff"/><tag k="B" v="bbb"/></changeset>
</osm>

After sending data to server using PUT, I'm receiving http 500 response (Application error).

Could someone help to solve this issue please?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I don't know exactly the reason for the 500 error code, but you are at least missing the xml tag. Here are the header and body of a PUT request to /api/0.6/changeset/create from a recent JOSM version:

header:

PUT /api/0.6/changeset/create HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: JOSM/1.5 (5587 de)
Connection: close
Authorization: OAuth oauth_token="blah", oauth_consumer_key="blah", oauth_version="1.0", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_timestamp="1353272088", oauth_nonce="blah", oauth_signature="blah"
Content-type: text/xml
Host: api.openstreetmap.org
Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2
Content-Length: 42

body:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<osm version='0.6' generator='JOSM'>
  <changeset  id='0' open='false'>
    <tag k='comment' v='my changeset comment' />
    <tag k='created_by' v='JOSM/1.5 (5581 en)' />
  </changeset>
</osm>

Also make sure to always include the comment and created_by tag in your changesets.

Hi All, Thanks for the help, specially scai. Message should follow following format in body.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<osm version="0.6" generator="MyOpenstreetmapApp"> 
<changeset>
    <tag k='comment' v='my changeset comment' />
    <tag k='created_by' v='JOSM/1.5 (5581 en)' />   
</changeset> 
</osm>

The above message format worked finally !

The detail is on the wiki page. You need to submit the page with an HTTP PUT.

You may have an authentication problem. Check this page about OAuth in OSM : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OAuth

Hi, It's not a problem with authentication, since I'm getting a token and a secret after Access Token step. Thanks

@Er Pawan Verma: to the node object. See the documentation for the API - e.g. about nodes. Please keep in mind that you should not create objects automatically.

Please don't hijack other people's question. Ask a new question instead (which you already did here).
