Hi, I'm new to openstreetmaps, so pardon for the basic question. How do I extract a list of every Tesco in the UK with all relevant tags associated with each? The long term aim is to automate this process so I can have it all put into a DB. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers, |

In general the easiest way is to use Overpass or Overpass-Turbo. This example shows a suitable query using Overpass-Turbo. Both approaches allow a variety of output methods (such as Geojson or CSV). The alternative is to start with a complete extract of a given country and use similar filters to obtain the same information. The most useful tools for this are osmconvert and osmfilter. You may need to consider a couple of things about such data:
Thank you for this explanation, it's very useful. just out of curiosity, I can see a Tesco supermarket that I know of in Kent which appears on OSM but not in the search, could you explain why? https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.39486/0.49119

Yes, very straightforward, each pair of lines should have contain one which starts with way not node. With overpass one needs to query both things mapped as a point (node) and as areas (ways). The corrected query is here: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/hDn . This ups the number of results from under 1000 to nigh on 2000
