Overpass QL: Nodes and ways in area

Question

I want to get nodes and ways (amenity~fastfood|restaurant) for a specific area. I tried with a boundingbox, which works well, but when i change the query to use area, i only get the the first query results in the union (nodes). If i put the way-query first, i only get ways.

The QL i have so far:


[out:json];
area
  ["boundary"="administrative"]
  ["name"="Calw"];
out body qt;
(
  node
    (area)
    ["amenity"~"fast_food|restaurant"];
  way
    (area)
    ["amenity"~"fast_food|restaurant"];
);
out body qt;
>;
out skel qt;

Any help to get the ways and nodes in one run?

Accepted Answer

You need to store the query result in a dedicated variable and to use it from there:


[out:json];
area
  ["boundary"="administrative"]
  ["name"="Calw"]->.a;          // Redirect result to ".a"
out body qt;
(
  node
    (area.a)                    // Use result from ".a"
    ["amenity"~"fast_food|restaurant"];
  way
    (area.a)                    // Use again result from ".a"
    ["amenity"~"fast_food|restaurant"];
);
out body qt;
>;
out skel qt;

Without the variable, the result of the area query is overwritten by the "node(area)..." statement. Thus the next statement doesn't find any area to recurse from.
