Overpass API Condition for GeocodeArea & BoundingBox

Question

I could able to retrieve data using BoundingBoxes or GeocodeArea using over-pass API. While i want to get specific information from particular GeocodeArea i use

 {{geocodeArea:India}}->.searchArea;

For BoundingBoxes I use like

  node["leisure"="park"](50.6,7.0,50.8,7.3);

How Can i prepare Overpass query condition that satisfies both BBox & GeocodeArea. Any Examples? Any Help would be appreciated.

You can simply combine multiple filters in one query statement. In the following example we're looking for all pubs in Cologne (inside relation 62578), which in addition are inside a given bounding box. The resulting query should look like this:

area(3600062578)->.searchArea;
node
  ["amenity"="pub"]
  (area.searchArea)
  (50.91928498040378,6.7814483642578125,51.03858753963086,6.8932342529296875);
out body;

If you leave out the (area.searchArea) line in overpass turbo, you'll notice some additional pubs, whcih are inside the bounding box, but not in the Cologne area.

@mmd, may i know why is the 36000 number is prefixed with relation id?

@yogi_ks: it's simply a convention which is only used for Overpass API: read more about it on the wiki page.

By convention the area id can be calculated from an existing OSM way by adding 2400000000 to its OSM id, or in case of a relation by adding 3600000000 respectively
