getmap works with so called public static image APIs, which are
provided by Mapquest and Google. AFAIR, OSM does *not* provide such
an API - at least at last time I checked. But, I've read that OSM now
provides direct routing. If they would also provide an static image
API, ... ;-)
So what about that "public static image APIs" - do we have it (or will
we some day)?
OSM doesn't provide APIs except the editing API*. The routing on osm.org
is from third-party providers using OSM data. I believe MapQuest Open
has a static image API like MapQuest.com, except using OSM data
globally. That would probably be very easy for them to implement, as it
would basically reuse their existing MapQuest code.
There is the /cgi-bin/export endpoint on the tile servers, but that is
not suited for an application like this.
