Hi,

I'm pretty new to OpenStreetMap and i'm sorry for my bad english. I'm trying to get terrain information from a specific bounding box. I tried it with overpass turbo but had no success. It would be nice if i could get informations like forrest, grassland, desert, snow or if the location in the bbx is ocean (maybe also temperature).

I found the 'natural' key/tag but im not sure if this contains all the information i'm looking for

In the end my plan is to make a python script that gets these informations from multiple locations(bbx's)

Please note OSM has no information on temperature.

Your first place to look is in the wiki to find the correct 'key' for each entity you wish to locate: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Forest

To get different boundary boxes use: https://osm.duschmarke.de/bbox.html (Press Alt & drag with mouse left button)

To find single entity types:

nwr [natural=wood](51.4649882,-0.089,51.5457077,0.079);
out geom;

To find multiple entities types:

[bbox:51.4649882,-0.089,51.5457077,0.079];
nwr [landuse=forest];
nwr [leisure=park];
out geom;

Unsure if ocean is an OSM type - look up coastline

Also seasonal but unsure how widely it's used.

is it possible to get all tags or keys that the current boundary box has? for example i want to get all keys or tags from this boundary box: [bbox:54.4438,7.1249,54.6032,7.4435]

Just remove the tags, but be careful not to make the area too large, especially over land. It'll return large amounts of data.
