What's in it
- Data offered docs-verified
- bbox coordinate conversion and projection · EPSG reprojection (3,900+ codes) · H3 hex cell indices covering a bbox · OpenStreetMap feature search via Overpass QL (bbox or radius) · OSM tag lookup by category · H3-binned OSM feature counts with hex boundaries · shareable map verification links
- Coverage docs-verified
- Global
- Resolution docs-verified
- H3 cell resolution 0–15 (aggregate_overpass_h3 default 8); source data resolution not stated
- Formats docs-verified
- WKT · GeoJSON · GeoJSON bbox · ogrinfo extent · raw coordinates · KML · CSV · Leaflet · Overpass bbox string · OGC bbox · STAC bbox · JSON
- Access docs-verified
- Free and open; no API key or signup needed to start. Optional MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN (free tier, no payment info) enables natural-language location search. Licence: MIT
Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Project a study-area bounding box to EPSG:27700 (British National Grid) for GIS handover · Pull OSM-mapped features within a set radius of a site for desk-study context · Bin OSM asset counts into H3 cells for spatial density screening across a study area · Generate a shareable map link so a client can visually verify a study-area extent
- Audience llm-inferred
- GIS analysts · environmental consultants · planners · civils engineers
Limitations
- Constraints docs-verified
- Public Overpass and Nominatim instances are free community resources with limited capacity; avoid tight loops and bulk scraping · Natural-language location search requires a MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN · Default Overpass endpoint rotates between overpass-api.de and kumi.systems; set OVERPASS_API_URL to your own instance for heavy or shared use
