Select only closed ways in Overpass turbo wizard

3

In Overpass wizard one can say: type:node|way|relation What about type "closed-way"? What's the syntax? Thank you, RB

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Overpass_QL#Closedness - use the operator is_closed()

For example, this finds all closed ways with leisure=fitness_station

[out:csv(::count)][timeout:60]; ( way ["leisure"="fitness_station"] (if:is_closed()) ; ); out count;

See https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/LMB

For unclosed ways, add ! before is_closed, eg:

[bbox:{{bbox}}] ; way["area"="yes"](if:!is_closed()); out geom;
