Access to bulk data for India for side project

1

Hi,

The UI export seems to have a limit of exporting 50000 nodes at a time. I was wondering if there is some sort of throttled API access that allows access to data for India that I can use on a side project?

thanks

Use the planet file, or extracts thereof. The planet file contains all data, and you can use programs like Osmosis to retrieve parts of it.
