Union 2 or more queries to one

Question

Helo, I Have this query

area["name"="London"];
node(area)["amenity"="bar"]->.all;
( .all; - ._;);
(._;);
out;

but for less queries to overpass server i want to join more categories to one query, I think this should be like this

node(area)["amenity"="bar" || "amenity"="restaurant"]->.all;

but i have error there.

can you please show me true syntax for getting both categories?

Answer 1

4	The correct syntax is node["amenity"~"hotel\|restaurant"]({{bbox}}); This is an example query more info on the syntax can be found in the Overpass documentation on One or the other name. permanent link answered 25 Jan '18, 17:01 escada 19.0k●16●166●302 accept rate: 21%

You should write this:

["amenity"~"bar|restaurant"]

instead of:

["amenity"="bar" || "amenity"="restaurant"]

If you want to add more, like fast_food, pub, cafe, etc, you can do it easily:

["amenity"~"bar|restaurant|fast_food|pub|cafe"]

You have infinite other possibilities using regular expressions in overpass...

Thank you for anwser, this is works well, but in case if i should get one form amenity and another from shop?

["amenity"="bar" || "shop"="supermarket"] ...

In that case, you better separate the queries and then union them:

area["name"="London"];

node(area)["amenity"~"bar|restaurant"]->.amenities;

node(area)["shop"~"supermarket|clothes"]->.shops;

(

.amenities;

.shops;

)->.all;

( .all; - ._;);

(._;);

out;

I would also change "London" by "Greater London" to avoid getting some nodes in North America, that you probably don't want: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/voH

Or you could use the relation code instead: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/voG

You are welcome ;)

I gave you an answer to that new query. Hope it is what you want...

An alternative to the regex solution given in the other answers is to use the union operator, which is specified by grouping queries inside of parentheses:

area["name"="London"];
(
node(area)["amenity"="bar"];
node(area)["amenity"="restaurant"];
);
out;

This will likely be clearer if the query involves several different keys.

The output of the union can also be saved in a named set:

(
node(area)["amenity"="bar"];
node(area)["amenity"="restaurant"];
)->.all;

Thank you for answer,

but when i trying to get bars and restaurants with this query

area["name"="London"];

( node(area)["amenity"="bar"]; node(area)["amenity"="restaurant"]; )->.all;

( .all; - .; ); (.;>;);

out;

i see in results ONLY bars....

where is my mistake?

You need to name the area and then reference the name, see https://help.openstreetmap.org/answer_link/48795/
