OpenStreetMap Community API

healthy 4,974 Subscribers

Live OpenStreetMap community and contribution data as an API — the people and the edits behind the collaborative free world map, served from the official OSM API. Look up any mapper by their user id for their profile (display name, account age, total changesets and GPS traces, roles), pull a user's recent changesets — each edit batch with its comment, the editor used, and how many map features it created, modified or deleted — or read the open and resolved map notes, the community feedback pins, inside a geographic bounding box. The OSM contributor-and-edits layer for mapping, community and dashboard apps. Live, no key. Distinct from geocoding, routing and map-tile APIs that merely consume OpenStreetMap data — this is the OSM community and editing activity itself.

Geocoding API — oanor API marketplace

Geocoding API

Forward & reverse geocoding and OSM object lookup powered by OpenStreetMap: turn addresses/places into coordinates, coordinates into addresses, and look up OSM objects by id.

Coordinate Systems API — oanor API marketplace

Coordinate Systems API

Map projections and coordinate reference systems as an API — the EPSG dataset made queryable. Every CRS, from geographic systems like WGS 84 (the GPS standard, EPSG 4326) to projected ones like Web Mercator (3857), the UTM zones and national grids, has an EPSG code. Search the dataset by name to find the code you need, then resolve any code to its full definition: name, kind (geographic, projected, …), area of use, scope, and — most usefully — the ready-to-paste PROJ.4 string and WKT definition that GIS libraries (GDAL, PROJ, PostGIS, Leaflet, OpenLayers, QGIS, GeoPandas) consume directly. Search comes from the official EPSG Registry maintained by IOGP; the PROJ.4/WKT exports come from epsg.io. A geodesy / coordinate-reference-system resource — distinct from geocoding (addresses to coordinates), geohashing and administrative-boundary APIs. Ideal for GIS, mapping, surveying, remote-sensing and spatial-data applications.

geoBoundaries API — oanor API marketplace

geoBoundaries API

Open administrative boundaries as an API, powered by geoBoundaries — the open database of political administrative boundaries built by the William & Mary geoLab. For more than 200 countries and every administrative level — ADM0 (national), ADM1 (states, provinces or regions), ADM2 (counties or districts) and on down to ADM4/ADM5 local units — get the boundary's metadata (official name, the source agency that produced it, the data licence, the year represented, the number of administrative units and the mean vertex count) together with direct download links to the geometry in full-resolution GeoJSON, a simplified GeoJSON, TopoJSON and a ZIP bundle; list every administrative level available for a country with its unit count and download link; and browse the full catalogue of countries that have boundaries. The geometry itself is delivered as standard GeoJSON/TopoJSON files at the returned URLs, ready to drop into Leaflet, Mapbox, QGIS, deck.gl or any GIS pipeline. Ideal for mapping and visualisation, choropleths, spatial joins, geofencing, election and census cartography and location analytics. ISO codes are 3-letter (DEU, USA, BRA); administrative levels are ADM0 to ADM5. Data from the geoBoundaries project (CC-BY 4.0).
