What I want to do is pass the OSM data it to the OSM reader in a single workspace. I guess I could call the OSM fetcher in a startup Python script but that seems more convoluted than it should be. Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Alan
Solved
Fetch & Read OSM
This should be simple but I’m ready to throw up my hands. I have a workspace that fetches an OpenStreetMap chunk of XML for a requested area. I can save the data and then read the data using the FME OSM reader, a two-step process.

Hi Alan,
This is not very elegant and I hope somebody has a better suggestion, but I guess you could write the XML chunk using a PythonCaller (it is just a text file, after all) and then read the file back again using a FeatureReader with the OSM format.
