Hi all,
Was unsure what the best practices for querying overpass were, and was
wondering if someone could point me in a good direction.
I'm trying to query Overpass for a small amount of data over many small,
sparsely populated areas. Was wondering if it made more sense to run
separate queries for the bounding box of each small area, or one query
for the bounding box of all queries. The first approach sends more
queries against smaller areas, the second approach sends only one query
against a much larger area.
In general, I would suggest to combine all areas with the union
operator. Or even, simpler, just concatenate the queries. Overpass can
handle multiple print statements.
When your return time is below a few seconds, then it makes sense to
combine more requests.
Best regards,
Roland
