I'd imagine there are plenty of examplea that use OSM street name and place
information to hang other data or queries off.
One example off the top of my head was an application that I was involved with
a few years ago tracking police "stop and search" requests in London, but there
are plenty of others.
An easy way to find them is to search for something in OSM that has a spelling
mistake and see what turns up in a Google search for that misspelling (in
addition to the OSM object itself).
Best regards,
Andy

Subject: [OSM-talk] 3rd party API integration
Hi,
is anybody aware of 3rd party APIs that are integrated into the OSM
database? An example for what I mean would be a mapped car park with an
API link added as a tag that offers functionality such as retrieving the
number of available parking spots. Another example would be uic_ref
values on railway=station objects or ref:X values on highway=bus_stop
objects which also allow using 3rd party APIs using these identifiers.
Yet another example I already know about are Wikidata identifiers that
allow queries to the Wikidata Query Service.
Thanks for any input on this,
Sebastian
