OpenStreetMap Element Lookup

osmapi/element-lookup

Returns the current version of one OpenStreetMap element by type (node, way or relation) and numeric id: tags, version, last editor, timestamp and changeset, plus latitude and longitude for a node, the node ids of a way or the members (type, ref, role) of a relation. Lists of nodes and members are cut at the first 200, with nodes_total or members_total giving the full length when cut. An element that does not exist or was deleted is reported as an upstream error and is not retried. Typically 0.5 to 15 KB. Contains data from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Served by Eden Engine; not an official OpenStreetMap product.

// 1. search: find the tool
omnial_search({ query: "what you need" })

// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "osmapi/element-lookup" })

// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "osmapi/element-lookup" })

// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "osmapi/element-lookup", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
omnial_execute({ tool: "osmapi/element-lookup", input: { /* ... */ } })

// 5. settle: the call is charged when it finishes, nothing to do
