OpenStreetMap Daten und Libraries

OSM Wiki¶

Software libraries: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software_libraries

Python Libraries¶

geopy¶

https://geopy.readthedocs.io/

geopy is a Python client for several popular geocoding web services

Geocode addresses using Nomination or with other geocoding services.

osm2geojson¶

https://github.com/aspectumapp/osm2geojson

If you want to convert OSM xml or Overpass json/xml to Geojson you can import this lib and use one of 4 methods:

json2shapes(dict json_from_overpass) - to convert Overpass json to *Shape-objects
xml2shapes(str xml_from_osm) - to convert OSM xml or Overpass xml to *Shape-objects
json2geojson(dict json_from_overpass) - to convert Overpass json to Geojson
xml2geojson(str xml_from_osm) - to convert OSM xml or Overpass xml to Geojson

Does not seem to be actively developed.

OSMnx¶

https://osmnx.readthedocs.io

OSMnx is a Python package to easily download, model, analyze, and visualize street networks and other geospatial features from OpenStreetMap

Uses Nominatim API to download OSM elements, slower than Overpass API.

Overpy¶

https://python-overpy.readthedocs.io

Python Wrapper to access the Overpass API

Is there any advantage to query the API directly using requests?

Pyrosm¶

https://pyrosm.readthedocs.io

• Python library for reading OpenStreetMap from Protocolbuffer Binary Format -files (*.osm.pbf) into Geopandas GeoDataFrames
• Routing functionality
• This tutorial that shows how to construct simple shortest path routing between selected source and destination addresses using NetworkX and OSMnx: https://pyrosm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/graphs.html#find-shortest-path-with-pyrosm-networkx-osmnx
