Hey, I want to get all existing points of interest in a city like e.g. New York. Is there a simple way to do that and get it as an XML file?

I already tried this search: "http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=new+york[hospital]&format=xml&polygon=0&addressdetails=1" But I don't know how to eliminate the term "hospital" so that I get all the POI in new york. Is there a way to do that with this tool or do I need a completely another way?

Thanks in advance :) Sebastian

Did you checked out already http://overpass-turbo.eu ?

For a similar task, I have used a combination of Osmosis and Osmfilter:

  1. download an extract for the desired area (e.g. http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/new-york.html )
  2. find out the coordinate box you're interested in (the above gives you the entire Empire State :))
  3. extract a .osm file (substitute the box values from step 2, the below ones are obviously nowhere near NYC):

osmosis --read-pbf file=inputfile.pbf --dataset-bounding-box bottom=49.75 top=50.35 left=14.05 right=14.87 --write-xml file=nyc.osm

4 . filter the resulting XML using osmfilter:

osmfilter nyc.osm --keep="amenity=" --keep-ways="amenity=" --keep-relations="amenity=" > amenities.xml

The above will give you everything tagged "amenity" - this should cover many POIs; check the OSM wiki for other tags which you may want to see.

You can probably replace the bounding box with a poly file to cut just the city you want. A good source for polyfiles straight from OSM boundaries is https://wambachers-osm.website/boundaries/

Good point - wanted to keep the answer simple.

Thank you for your answers :)

I have decided to use the .osm files and write my own parser for them, because I need to automatize the whole step with JAVA EE.
