OSMFilter : how to filter ways that contain a node

General talk
1

The equivalent of HTTP API : /node/{nodeid}/ways
I would like to do the same, but off line :wink:

Ok, I contacted Markus to see if he can do something or tell me what to do.

But until that, I found a workaround :
I replaced the [<nd ref=] of each node of each way by [<t k=“nd” v=]
then I can use osmfilter to find ways that contain a node

Ok, I know, it is not respectful of the OSM norm, but it is a solution to my problem.
My next try when I will have time (except if Markus does it) is to not change the original osm file, but modify osmfilter to do the “same” in background, without telling us, just to answer to a question :
give me all ways that have this node inside.

Regards, and thanks for this wonderfull project that is OSM.

Hello – we both found a kind of work-around:

First, create a file with just the ways in it:

osmconvert all.pbf --drop-nodes --drop-relations -o=ways.o5m

Then, get the requested ways:

echo ‘’ | osmconvert -b=-180.1,-90.1,180.1,90.1 --drop-nodes - ways.o5m -o=selected_ways.osm

Maybe this will help other people too. :slight_smile:

Overpass API might come in handy for this kind of query: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/5dq


node(245415);(way(bn);>;);out meta;

This works also offline, if you set up your own Overpass API instance.
