Re: [OSM-talk] XAPI URL for one way by ID?
XAPI is intended to provide capabilities that are not available with the standard API. It is not intended to duplicate the API capabilities. So the quick answer is use the API if you want to get a way by id. The longer answer is that it could be implemented in XAPI fairly trivially, and was probably an oversight rather than a deliberate omission. If it had been implemented then the correct way to query it would have been: /api/0.6/w...@id=xxx] 80n On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 5:47 AM, Gary68 g...@gary68.de wrote: hi, on API i can GET http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/Id using the same string on XAPI like http://osmxapi.hypercube.telascience.org/api/0.6/way/38427403 results in firefox can't find the file... initially I typed http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/way/23328268 (other id, ok...) but i was redirected. trying ...way[id=xxx] or Id=xxx didn't help either. so, question: how do i get exactly one way by id from xapi? the wiki page doesn't help me... thanks gerhard gary68 ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] XAPI URL for one way by ID?
hi! but XAPI is also intended to take load off the API, right? so it might be a good idea to implement these simple query functions. my 2cts cheers gerhard gary68 On Tue, 2009-08-25 at 07:31 +0100, 80n wrote: XAPI is intended to provide capabilities that are not available with the standard API.

The XAPI was really written to answer types of queries where the API would not cope, or the API was not made for (give me every node tagged as a phone booth on the entire world, for example) t...@h then started using it as a secondary datasource, because it started loading the main API too much, only then the role of XAPI became more of a load-reducing one for the main API. TRAPI and ROMA were other offloading APIs that were made for uses such as t...@h, those, too, are limited in what kind of api calls they allow (map bboxes only, IIRC) -- Dirk-Lüder Deelkar Kreie Bremen - 53.0901°N 8.7868°E signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Yes, it does now help to take the load off the main API so there is some sense in implementing this capability, and since the data is there, it could also provide most of the other API calls as well. Obviously not updates and obviously not history, but all the other calls would probably be easy to implement. 80n ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] XAPI URL for one way by ID?
hi, on API i can GET http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/Id using the same string on XAPI like http://osmxapi.hypercube.telascience.org/api/0.6/way/38427403 results in firefox can't find the file... initially I typed http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/way/23328268 (other id, ok...) but i was redirected. trying ...way[id=xxx] or Id=xxx didn't help either. so, question: how do i get exactly one way by id from xapi? the wiki page doesn't help me... thanks gerhard gary68 ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
