Hi!
As an exercise, let's find Dakar in Senegal
Searching areas by area is not yet supported in Overpass API. See this
feature request:
https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API/issues/45
Well... Maybe area selection is inoperative. Let's try with a good old
bounding box
This is also not yet implemented, unfortunately:
https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API/issues/55
If you only want to get the administrative area "Dakar": Why not simply
using something like this:
area[name="Dakar"][boundary=administrative];
out;
This works as long as there isn't another city with the same name
somewhere else.
