Ref is a reference to an object ID, not a ref tag. Instead of /api/0.6/relation[ref=2202120] you want /api/0.6/relation/2202120.
Im not 100% sure if the overpass compatibility layer will correctly handle the latter syntax. From: Grégory Bataille [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, November 29, 2013 4:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OSM-dev] Problem with XAPI and ref based search hello everybody, I have been trying to use OSM data for a while. basically, first, I'd like to get the admin boundaries of France. I start by asking XAPI to give me the France admin_level 2 object like so: http://www.overpass-api.de/api/xapi?relation[boundary=administrative][admin_ level=2][name=France] <http://www.overpass-api.de/api/xapi?relation%5bboundary=administrative%5d%5 badmin_level=2%5d%5bname=France%5d> this returns me the object, which contains among other things: <member type="relation" ref="79981" role="outer"></member> <member type="relation" ref="2202120" role="outer"></member> <member type="relation" ref="2627308" role="outer"></member> <member type="relation" ref="2177258" role="outer"></member> so I want to dig down into these relations of course to get to the details (ways and nodes). But I can't: http://www.overpass-api.de/api/xapi?relation[ref=2202120] <http://www.overpass-api.de/api/xapi?relation%5bref=2202120%5d> or http://www.overpass-api.de/api/xapi?*[ref=2202120] <http://www.overpass-api.de/api/xapi?*%5bref=2202120%5d> won't return anything. I have been spending a fair amount of time on this and I can't figure it out. Would you please be able to point me in the right direction? thanks.
