He wasn't asking for every town on earth. Just every country's border,
and every country's capitol. I am a noob too so can't answer his
question. But I did run the wizard with "admin_level=2 and type:node"
and got 3,988 nodes. Which begs the question, why does Argentina have
dozens of admin level 2 nodes? I am guessing around 80 or so.

Hello,
I'm trying to fetch countries, their borders, and their capitals through
Overpass API, but the server never replies to me (With a timeout:3600
setting, the server reply with a 502 error after a while).
I'm only a beginner with this API, so maybe my request is not efficient:
(
???? node[place=city];
???? node[place=town];
)->.a;
rel[boundary=administrative][admin_level=2]->.b;
(
???? node[place=country];
???? node.a[capital=yes];
???? way[boundary=administrative][admin_level=2];
???? .b;
???? .b >;
)->.o;
.o out body;
What am I doing wrong ? (Should I use another tool for this purpose ?)
Too much data? So it times out.
You are asking for every node of;
city 19,930
town 111,981
country 221
And then boundaries as well. 29,752
The numbers I got from taginfo.. did not bother with separating nodes
etc.
I think the boundaries will cause problems - lots of nodes and ways in
there as well as the relations.
Suggestions? Do it in small sections.
Get the cities and countries as one item and see if that works. Save
the result for later merging.
Get the boundaries for a small section of the world .. with few
boundaries and see if that works.
