You can replace steps one to three by doing a wget from Overpass. Please try e.g.: wget -O natural.osm "http://overpass.osm.rambler.ru/cgi/interpreter?data=[timeout:900];node(50,-10,61,2) [natural];out;" This returns all nodes that have a tag with key "natural". You may need to fine-tune the bounding box (50,-10,61,2), but I think, it should roughly match. It may take some time to download, but it is perfectly well within normal server usage. If you want to combine several keys in one query, you can enclose node(50,-10,61,2)[natural]; in parentheses "(" ");" and write multiple. E.g. wget -O multiple.osm "http://overpass.osm.rambler.ru/cgi/interpreter?data=[timeout:900]; (node(50,-10,61,2)[natural];node(50,-10,61,2)[historic];);out;" If you want also ways and relations, you can try wget -O multiple.osm "http://overpass.osm.rambler.ru/cgi/interpreter?data=[timeout:900]; (way(50,-10,61,2)[natural];node(w);rel(50,-10,61,2)[natural];node(r)- >.x;way(r);node(w););out;" All commands are in one line.
