Hello, We want to do the following. Please tell us if it is possible and how is the easiest way to do this? We want to set a parameter - country and city and get all street names that are found in this city. Get them as a list. Could this happen? Can we use directly your database with API? We not need uploaded everything on our own server? Can we see somewhere a sample query, how to do it and get the data? Or step by step help info? Thank you very much! |

OpenStreetMap does not offer an interface for that. You will have to download the data for the city in question (or a whole country or even more), import it into a database, and extract the road names that lie within the boundary. The "Nominatim" geocoder could be a starting point for this, and there's even an export script for that here https://github.com/lonvia/Nominatim/blob/export-script/utils/export.php but I'm unsure if this still works. Thank you! Is not possible we contact with API to openstreetmap.org, right?

Contacting the API is possible of course. But as already explained by Frederik it doesn't support such a query. And it should not be used for downloading huge amounts of data. See downloading data in the wiki for alternative methods.

It's possible to use the API if it is for a limited area and if you do this only once. But as Frederik said, you will get OSM raw data where one street can be divided in multiple small segments/ways. You could also check the application http://maposmatic.org/ creating street indexes (all details here http://maposmatic.org/about/)

please enter "street list" in the search field of this FAQ site. There are already solutions for your aim. |
Hello,
I was trying to get all streets names from a service on http://www.gisgraphy.com when I saw that there is a Ban list in which my server can go in on multiple requests. My question is: what is the best way to get all streets from multiple Cities using PHP with given Name of City or Geo location?
