Hi all, thanks for the responses. I'm actually using bash on my mac here (should've said that originally), so working with curl (should i be?)
I'm definitely communicating with overpass - thanks for the http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter - but can't seem to send a script succesfully. Even the simple sample taken directly from the tutorial page curl --request GET "http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter?data=node[name=\ "Gielgen\"];out;" yields: curl: (3) [globbing] error: bad range specification after pos 50 but i'm acutally more interested in sending a file then storing the output (as your examples through wget do) Andrew On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 1:50 PM, Jo <[email protected]> wrote: > wget -O "PT.osm" --post-file="PT.overpass" " > http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter"; > > should do the trick.
