The current usage policies in
https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/
say that
"Calls to /cgi-bin/export may only be triggered by direct end-user
action. (For example: “click here to export”.) The export call is an
expensive (CPU+RAM) function to run and will frequently reject when
server is under high load."
so using a script to produce these PDFs would violate the policy except
in rare circumstances where running the script is triggered by a user
request.
What you could do instead:
* download and stitch tiles, convert to PDF; search for "OSM bigmap" for
different implementations.
* use the "staticmap" script on openstreetmap.de like this:
http://staticmap.openstreetmap.de/staticmap.php?center=40,-50=2=500x350
Both will only give you standard resolution raster images. You could
also try
* https://maposmatic.osm-baustelle.de/ (a working fork of the
discontinued MapOsMatic project, does PDFs)
or the somewhat idiosyncratic but powerful
* http://printmaps-osm.de:8080/ (Europe only, quarterly data updates,
does PDFs in theory but currently only PNG works)
or if you're on Windows or willing to use Mono, Maperitive can also
generate PDFs for any region using data from Overpass, and it's
scriptable (even headless).
Of course, the canonical solution is "install your own
postgres/mapnik/nik4.py and run it locally" ;)
