I want to (programatically) get the most recent changeset for a user (specifically, I need the timestamp of when it was closed, if it was). There doesn't seem to be any API means of doing this, unless I'm missing something. There isn't a way to get user UID from username (nor can I see a way to do this manually), and there isn't a means to get changesets by user, either by UID or username (if there was a way to get a user UID e.g. on their profile page, I could start with that, but username is easier - yes I know it could change in principle). I can see how to do it - the main website does it - but it isn't nice, in that it means parsing a fragment of HTML rather than properly structured XML as the API would... https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/username/history?list=1 gives a fragment of HTML, an OL and the first LI in that has an A with an href of the changeset I want, which I can then plug into the API. Is there a better way? |

You should check the API 0.6 |
