And second point is, > -74.25,40.4,-73.7,40.9 is the bounding box for NYC, or? No, I was being liberal in my estimates. But I still think I'm not communicating my question properly. What I'm looking for is NOT a list of addresses. I'm looking for lists of administrative regions -- be the states, counties, postal code regions, etc..., and really any of the boundary files that define the various place levels as recognized by OSM. So, while http://osmxapi.hypercube.telascience.org/api/0.6/*[addr:postcode][bbox=-74,40,-72,42] returns locations that probably contain many of the zip codes in that bounding box, the results to do NOT contain all the zip codes in that region (e.g. '11021' is definitely within that box, but is not contained in any address that is currently in the OSM database. Even if all the zip codes _were_ in this list somewhere, since my goes to obtain that list of zip codes (or states, or whatever) and not speciific addresses, I'd have to do some serious parsing on the list, -- and anyway, the downloaded thing which be much larger than what I was looking for to start with, and therefore much less efficient. So let me restate my questions better: 1) Does OSM have or not have any facility to obtain as results of an API call a list of administrative units that intersect a given bounding box, backed -- presumbly -- by a set of adminstrative-region shapefiles that are basically comprehensive and complete for the US? 2) If it doesn't have that facility, can someone point me to a service that might?
