Welcome to the OpenStreetMap API docs

Hello and welcome! OpenStreetMap is one of the the most widely used background mapping service in the world. It is open source software, co-created by a worldwide community.

This isn't an official OpenStreetMap API documentation

The existing OSM API documentation is available here.

This documentation is demonstrative only and its scope is limited

The documentation is merely a proposal for migration of existing open source API (OSM v0.6) to a modern and usable layout. This documentation contains only 22 endpoints (API calls) of basic usability.

Keep calm and have fun exploring it .
