How can I select multiple ways by their OSM id using the overpass API?

[out:json];way(104178011);way(18916837);out tags;

The above query only includes the data about the second way. Link.

For those arriving here via an internet search, this is a quicker way to do it now:

 [out:json];way(id:104178011,18916837);out tags;

Another solution is to use a union, using parentheses:

(way(104178011);way(18916837););

Not important for simple output, but unions are useful for more complicated scripts.

@macerickson Yeah its more formal and stuff.

To get the result shown in UI, run this query:

[out:json];
way(id:104178011,18916837);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;
