Hi, I want to store some data extracted from OSM (via overpass-api) into my database. Periodically (every month or year not decided yet), I want to search again for those nodes, ways or relations using osm_id and look for changes in the tags and update my database. can I count on the osm_id to retrieve the same node, way or relation as I read that osm_ids my change. |

You cannot count on OSM IDs being the same; it is probably better if you load all OSM data for the area in question and then check for another object that has the same (or somewhat the same) tags. One thing that might happen to POIs for example is that they are made into a building and therefore the same tags might now be attached to a different object. but if we cannot count on osm_id there is, actually, no way to re-query a node representing a hotel for example just using the "tourism"="hotel" and the name tags cause they may change also.

Yes, this is true. What exactly is your use case - what is your local database for, and why do you need to update it (instead of just repeating your overpass query)?

First, thank you for responding. I want to have a list of hotels in my database (extracted from OSM). And periodically (for ex. every month or 3 months) I want to re-query those elements and if some information was changed (in OSM), I want to update my database with the last one (ex. phone number, stars, addresse...)
