Hi,

I have a large number of OSM IDs such as the Relation 2172991 corresponding mostly to administrative boundaries.

I am now trying to match these against the ids in (for example) the bbbike bulk download but I am running into issues as the IDs do not match at all.

I know that relying on stable OSM IDs is not advisable and I can always re-query the locations that have changed from nominatim but I am a bit lost on how to approach this issue.

If at all possible I do not want to use the lookup endpoint of nominatim in order to keep the load on the OSM servers as little as possible.

Best

Frederic

The IDs should certainly match any downloads from bbbike or Geofabrik. Have you considered that Nodes, Ways, and Relations each have an independent number range i.e. there is a way #2172991 and a node #2172991 in addition to your relation?
