Re: [OSM-dev] retrieve user`s editing log
The editing API is primarily intended for editing the map. While some
non-editing usage is permitted, if your application will be making
many calls on a continuous basis, the editing API will not be the
appropriate thing to use. See here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_usage_policy
If you are looking for a continuous feed of changes, there are data
diffs that are published on a minutely, hourly or daily basis. These
are available from http://planet.osm.org/replication/ and documented
at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Planet.osm/diffs
There are tools to help consume these. Osmosis is the one that comes
to mind first but I think there are some others as well.
If you are just after the changeset metadata (so no map objects, just
what is visible for example here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changeset/42768543 ) then you can
use the changeset replication diffs at
http://planet.osm.org/replication/changesets/ for which I have a
parser that will both import the historical dump and keep up with
minutely diffs: https://github.com/ToeBee/ChangesetMD
This is a lot less data to deal with than full map object history
which can be rather overwhelming.

Re: [OSM-dev] retrieve user`s editing log
I think I find something to try now. In API v0.6, it state:
History: GET /api/0.6/[node|way|relation]/#id/history
Retrieves all old versions of an element.
I believe this maybe what I am looking for.

Re: [OSM-dev] retrieve user`s editing log
Thank you! I am pretty new to OSM, so I might mislead my question. What I
want is something like JSON`s pair data. The raw logging of
different users and associated information, something looks like:
{ [user name: Jack,
time: 08/20/2012,
editing Node: ...,
editing Line: ...,
editing Tag: ...] }
I am not just looking for a historial snapshot/version of a data set.
Basically, it is some API which can fetch data from OSM. Not sure if this
is clear. Of course, I am in a quite initial stage of idea. Just try to
explore possibility and current development in the community.

Re: [OSM-dev] retrieve user`s editing log
What do you mean by "editing log"? Do you just want a list of changesets? Or do you want all the map objects they have touched as well? Do you want historic data for analysis or real-time updates for current edits? Or both? Depending on these options, this could be a trivial task or an involved project.
