(._;>;);
out body;
""")
for way in result.ways:
print("Name: %s" % way.tags.get("name", "n/a"))
print(" Highway: %s" % way.tags.get("highway", "n/a"))
print(" Nodes:")
for node in way.nodes:
print(" Lat: %f, Lon: %f" % (node.lat, node.lon))
Helper
Helper methods are available to provide easy access to often used requests.
.. code-block:: python
import overpy.helper
# 3600062594 is the OSM id of Chemnitz and is the bounding box for the request
street = overpy.helper.get_street(
"Straße der Nationen",
"3600062594"
)
# this finds an intersection between Straße der Nationen and Carolastraße in Chemnitz
intersection = overpy.helper.get_intersection(
"Straße der Nationen",
"Carolastraße",
