Hi,

I need to get the id of a "way" when I only have the way's node IDs, at least two such nodes that are given to be associated with, or sit exactly on that way.

What would you recommend as the procedure to achieve this? I'm in-familiar with OSM's API and couldn't find an answer here.

Thanks!

Try "ways for node" perhaps.

Edit: Sorry, I read "in-familiar" as familiar. So, for example, for node 1818806301

that's great, but i'll need locally run, best performance solution. What schema do you recommend for installation and what API package would you use? Also, given the way-id i'll need to create/update a tag for the way. maybe that has implications on the API package. Thanks!

I saw your discussion on the #osm IRC channel, where I think pgsnapshot schema was recommended. That's beyond me at the moment though as I've not tried it.

Gotcha. Indeed, that was me on the IRC. I'm going to give the recommendations given through IRC a shot. Thanks!
