I am trying to build up an address string like OSM Nominatim does using the overpass API, when all I have is the ID of e.g. a way: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4979228 Target would be to get a string shown as when you are searching for 'Aachener Weiher" on Nominatim
I guess this can maybe be done using the Can someone please point me into the right direction? Thank you. |

Why do you want to do that with Overpass API? Overpass API is not a geocoder, you won't achieve the same results as with Nominatim because they work quite differently.
Thanks - I found Nominatim's reverse Geocoding feature - which can get the address details, but does not include the OSM IDs of the features. My approach was kind of a polyfill for getting IDs with names. But as I learned today, the OSM IDs are far from persistent... I think I have to read more about the underlying tech and understand it better.
