Hi everyone
I was browsing through Winnipeg Transit's new PDDL API and experimenting
with the possibility of getting data from it. I discovered a way to use
a wildcard search to generate and XML file with all addresses on a
street that start with the same number. I found a small street and
manually created an OSM XML file for all address which I double checked
against Bing and found it accurate. I did not import it. Is it worth
creating a script to attempt to do this on a larger scale, especially if
the servers are throttled at 100 requests per IP per key per minute? One
advantage is it only has actual address, the reality of nonexistent
houses (where the house numbers skip several on a street, e.g. my house
is 725, my neighbour is 729, I have looked hard for 727 but can't find
it) is one of the biggest problems with interpolation. If you want to
play around with the API you can use my key.
