overpass api : very slow process

Hi to all,

I feel overpass API is very very slow.

http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter?data=[out:json];way%28around:5000,13.0236291,%2080.2652704%29;out;node%28around:5000,13.0236291,%2080.2652704%29[%27addr:street%27];out%20;

I was setup in my system, but still very slow in my local server too. Any suggestion to improve speed & performance ?

Please clarify what do you want your query to return.

That query returns a lot of data (9+ MB). What is your goal? Maybe try with a smaller around radius?

@RM87: I want to get all streets from a region/radius. If i get from node only, i got very few data only. So I want to retrieve ways too from that region (from ways also i can get some living streets).

@ivanatora: Yes. If i give around 500 meter, then its working little bit better. But I need to get all streets in a small town or around 5kms.

One Answer:

1	Your current query returns all ways within 5km radius + nodes tagged addr:street within 5km radius. This query would get you only the streets resulting in ~2MB of data. answered 04 Feb '16, 16:32 RM87 3.3k●2●37●53 accept rate: 22%
