Retrieve added data by a particular user

Question

Hi,

I want to get all data added(contributed) by a particular user to OSM. How to do?

http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Rajavelu_M/history shows data added by me with map. But I want data (without map) in JSON/XML or any other format.

Thanks in advance.

Overpass can be used to query data that was last touched by a user or a set of users. You can use a query like:

[out:json][timeout:25];
// gather results
(
  // query part for: “user:PlaneMad”
  node(user:"PlaneMad")({{bbox}});
  way(user:"PlaneMad")({{bbox}});
  relation(user:"PlaneMad")({{bbox}});
);
// print results
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

Try it. Move the map and run again for any other area. The object counts are at the bottom. This should be fairly accurate if you run it everyday for edits in a 24 hour time range using a more specific query since it is unlikely for the objects to have been modified by another user so soon.

You can see some more query examples here:

Hey you can try using owesome with the following query.

query ($dateFrom: String, $dateTo: String){ days(dateFrom: $dateFrom, dateTo: $dateTo) { day users(users:["Rajavelu_M"]) { user changeset nodeCount featureCollection { type features { id geometry } } } } }

Please note this project could be rough and only has data for 2017. Else you could simply use overpass
