How to get the list of addresses or street names by city?

Question

Hi everyone, I am trying a way to get a valid address or street name using the name city/zipcode. I am trying to use the OneStreetMap API to get this information. To be clear, I will present an example of what I am trying to achieve: Selecting a city from my select box, like Milano, I would like to receive (by API) the list of the addresses or street names that Milano has.

Thank you in advance Achille

The Overpass API would be your best bet for this (note usage policy).

An example query giving a csv of all streets and paths in Milano with names (adapted from the documentation):

[out:csv(::id,::type,"highway","name")];
{{geocodeArea:Milano}}->.searchArea;
 ( 
    way["highway"]["name"](area.searchArea);    
  );
out;
out count;

See example live in Overpass Turbo here.

Hi, thank you so much to help me. Just another question, I am using the API in this way: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?X-Requested-With=overpass-ide&format=json&q=Milano.

I am not getting the same result in the example here

Maybe I am not using the API in the correct way. How I can integrate the API in my backend code.

Thank you in advance. Achille

To be clear, I would like to integrate the API in my app and to show the list of the streen name or addresses.

Is it possible with actual API? I have read the documentation, but maybe I did not catch this case or for me it is little bit difficult to understand.

However, may you help me?

Regards, Achille

Technical details aside, I would like to draw your attention to Nominatim Usage Policy.

Conducting bulk geocoding is discouraged, and it is preferable for you to run your own version of Nominatim if you want to implement this in your app.

@Aki87 The example I gave is for Overpass as you asked about a list of streets, the link you have provided is to Nominatim which is a different service.

Overpass API is documented here.
Nominatim is documented here.

If what you actually want is a Geocoding service like Nominatim then you can see a list of options here.
