Hello, @Simone, would you suggest Overpass or XAPI for the second question asked by the OP? I am also a newbie and at this very moment I am trying out OSM Nominatim install on Amazon EC2. I previously was using Mapquest's open/OSM data, but that seems to be old and unmaintained! I would love to know why use overpass instead of XAPI for read only queries.
Thanks!
