Hi, if I have longitude and latitude I want to get information of building on that point. I want dimensions of that building and orientation. Is it possible? Thank You. asked 22 Feb '18, 15:51  zelenooq edited 24 Feb '18, 11:54  aseerel4c26 ♦ |

I think you have two steps here: first, identify which buildings is at that location. Second, get the building's dimensions. For the first part, Overpass API may help you. I do not much of it, but the "query features tool" (number 11 at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Browsing ) lists enclosing features if you click the map at a location. Look at your browser's network console (e.g. ctrl+shift+E in Firefox) to see the issued request to Overpass API. There are many other questions on Overpass API. For the second part, you can use Overpass API, too. It can return the building's edge nodes (which themselves contain coordinates). See the other question where-do-i-get-geographic-coordinates-for-osm-building-corners for more info on OSM building objects. answered 24 Feb '18, 01:16 aseerel4c26 ♦ With overpass api, i only have edges, and only one height. For example, here is building with one base shape and with 3 heights. With overpass api you get only one height. For example, here is buidling with one base shape and 3 heights: https://osmbuildings.org/?lat=45.79836&lon=15.96269&zoom=18 (24 Feb '18, 11:55) zelenooq And here I get only one height OverpassQL: [out:json] ; ( node ["building"] (45.798071354879,15.962183922529,45.798639834183,15.96318975091); way ["building"] (45.798071354879,15.962183922529,45.798639834183,15.96318975091); relation ["building"] (45.798071354879,15.962183922529,45.798639834183,15.96318975091); ); out;

See e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/230236690 . If osmbuildings shows different heights then you also can get the with overpass API because both act on the same data.

For this example. Thnx. (26 Feb '18, 09:39) zelenooq |
You need to understand simply making random overpass api queries is a waste of (everybody's) time. answered 26 Feb '18, 09:22  SimonPoole ♦ |
Are you asking "is there a website that already shows this information" or something else?
Idea is to get information which building it is so I can get dimensions of that building. But that add on information are interesting too. What do You mean by "web sit hat already shows this information"?
