Is it possible to search objects in a changeset ?

[pyrog]

I would like to search all or some object in a changeset.

<osm-script>
  <id-query ref="507464799" type="changeset"/>
  <print/>
</osm-script>

Is it possible with Overpass ?

[mmd-osm]

First of all: filtering on or querying of changesets is not possible at this time.

Maybe you should check out achavi, which works with a combination of OSM main db and overpass:

Example: http://nrenner.github.io/achavi/?changeset=27183569

Step 1: Request Changeset metadata

http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changeset/27183569

Result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<osm version="0.6" generator="OpenStreetMap server" copyright="OpenStreetMap and contributors" attribution="http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright" license="http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1-0/">
  <changeset id="27183569" user="FahRadler" uid="344561" created_at="2014-12-02T16:36:28Z" closed_at="2014-12-02T17:40:02Z" open="false" min_lat="49.2351097" min_lon="6.7306185" max_lat="49.2734277" max_lon="6.7979623" comments_count="0">
    <tag k="source" v="Bing"/>
    <tag k="created_by" v="JOSM/1.5 (7643 de)"/>
    <tag k="comment" v="Addition from Bing / Fieldwork"/>
  </changeset>
</osm>

Step 2: Use changeset metadata to request changes in bbox in this timeframe

bbox -> 6.7306185,49.2351097,6.7979623,49.2734277
data -> [adiff:"2014-12-02T16:36:27Z","2014-12-02T17:40:02Z"];(node(bbox)(changed);way(bbox)(changed););out meta geom(bbox);

I believe this is not 100% accurate if some other user happens to do some changes in the same timeframe/bbox, as overpass will only return the last change in that timeframe. Maybe @nrenner can comment on this?

In addition to that, @drolbr is also working on tool support in this area iirc, but this is not yet (officially) available.

Thanks 😄
I didn't know before neither AChaVi, neither Attic data or diff/adiff.

First of all: filtering on or querying of changesets is not possible at this time.

But technically it is possible with date settings ? So maybe Roland could implement search by chanegeset in the future ?

 [date:"2012-09-14T15:00:00Z"]

[mmd-osm]

The problem with date is, that a changeset usually covers a timeframe of several seconds to hours with a number of changes (could be up to 2000 iirc). Date however looks at a point in time only.

Details for a single changeset are already provided by the main api: example http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changeset/27183569/download (takes a while to load).

I still don't know what your use case is, could you elaborate a bit more, giving some more concrete examples?

[nrenner]

Step 3 in achavi is to filter the result by the changeset id, including referenced objects.

I believe this is not 100% accurate if some other user happens to do some changes in the same timeframe/bbox, as overpass will only return the last change in that timeframe.

You're right, this does not really work when an object is modified by multiple changesets in the same timeframe/bbox. Don't know how often this actually occurs and what to do about it.

I have made a changeset that was reversed. I would like to get the iDs of theses objects to build some queries : how many objects by country with tags xx=yy, and so on…

I could do that with JOSM (with the reverse changeset plugin) but I prefer to make a query with Overpass turbo (see map and see datas in XML without the risk to alter them).

[kolesar-andras]

Would be possible to filter objects by changeset id? Similar to user or type filter:

changeset:1234567

This data is available for overpass, returns with objects. Related to #189.

[drolbr]

There is now the evaluator changeset that solves part of the problem.

[mmd-osm]

It seems as if the changeset evaluator won’t return deleted objects in the adiff case.

[nrenner]

I think such metadata filters (like also user/uid) don't make sense with adiff (when applied at both timestamps).

The whole diff doesn't work with if:changeset(), as the query at the start timestamp doesn't match anything. See e.g. changesets 65944681 and 65908097. For modified objects, the old object is empty and has just the meta data - no tags, coordinates or node refs:

  <action type="modify">
  <old>
    <node id="1695993595" version="1" timestamp="2012-03-29T10:41:41Z" changeset="11135386" uid="641152" user="Gui!"/>
  </old>
  <new>
    <node id="1695993595" lat="48.9900248" lon="2.3607126" version="2" timestamp="2019-01-01T22:48:52Z" changeset="65944681" uid="6590084" user="jean-normandie">
      <tag k="amenity" v="restaurant"/>
      <tag k="cuisine" v="italian"/>
      <tag k="name" v="Pizza Hut"/>
    </node>
  </new>
  </action>

Actually, I thought action type create would be returned when the query doesn't match at the start timestamp. Has this changed or am I confusing things?

[mmd-osm]

Has this changed or am I confusing things?

Very good point. I think I was tricked by the <old> tag that this might work, but as you point out, it doesn't really make sense at all. Even worse, the behavior changed between 0.7.54 and 0.7.55:

NB: I had to change (if:changeset() == ...) to a tag query, as the query wouldn't run on 0.7.54 otherwise.

Query

[bbox:48.9900248,2.3607126,48.9900248,2.3607126]
[adiff:"2019-01-01T22:48:51Z","2019-01-01T22:48:52Z"];
node[cuisine];
out meta geom;
