There are regular daily/hourly/minutely diffs. The dailies have a delay of about and hour and a half, while minutely has an option of 5 minutes or half an hour. This is the method used by the main renderer and various other things that that want updates more frequent than once a week. On http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Planet.osm look at the last paragraph under "Update Frequency".

Yes, thank you. I had looked for an API policy and had not found one... I'm looking for bulk data but in fact live bulk data... working on a live javascript editor/renderer. I have a planet dump but had avoided working on it since the idea is to use data as it comes in. Is there a solution for that that's sustainable? I'm not familiar with the diffs and changesets as I've been focused on client-side work in the past week, but if there's an efficient way to sync my planet dump with the live dataset I'd love to do that.

My understanding is that the planet dumps are done weekly, and downloading changesets continuously seems not much better than hitting the API... I suppose this may simply be outside the scope of OSM's available interfaces, no?

one that includes the API as far as I can see. We should either add
