Overpass API query with diff setting returning duplicate rows

Question

Hi,

Can anybody please explain to me why this Overpass API query returns in part duplicate rows? Is there anyway I can automatically remove the duplicates?

[timeout:500][out:csv(::"id", amenity, name; true; ";")]
[diff:"2016-01-05T00:00:00Z","2016-05-31T24:00:00Z"];
area["name"="Groningen"]["admin_level"="10"];
node["amenity"="cafe"](area);
out;

Best regards,

Willy

I think I've got the answer. I changed the output format to xml. Then I saw in the output that all the duplicate rows have a parameter type="modify" and the non-duplicate ones type="create". So I guess the duplicate rows are nodes that were modified during the time period and the non-duplicate ones were newly created. Am I right?

The main issue here is that CSV output doesn't really play well with the diff setting. You probably should file an issue for that: https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API/issues
