On the fly OSM Data reader/converter?

Hi,

 

 

I see FME has an OSM XML data Reader. I wonder if its possible to have this reader/converter on the fly using transformers. I use the HTTPCaller to extract data via the Overpass API and I would like to convert the output XML into features, but that's not easy as I first tought because of the way OSM data is structured.

 

 

Is there a way to convert the xml data returned by the HTTPCaller into FME features without saving the XML on disk and then using the OSM Data Reader?

 

 

Thank you!

I wonder if using Overpy (https://github.com/DinoTools/python-overpy) in a pythonCaller would be much simpler than the HTTPCaller

I've wanted to look into the Overpass Turbo API for a long time (busy busy), I suspect it should be possible to build an OSM querier using that. I have used something @pimverver made for me but had a hard time adapting that example.

Hi Willy,

Cool! Nice solution. Works a treat.

For testing purposes I modified the Overpass Query to theaters in Gelderland, and yes, all 61 of them appeared in the shapefile :-)

Tnx,

Egge-Jan

Hi all, have been hunting around for a way to query Overpass API with FME, and this looked to be the most promising answer, but unfortunately the GitHub link was broken.

 

I've done a bit of digging and found it again here:

Thanks Willy for your answer, really helpful! I hope you don't mind me attaching the workbench here for others to see in case your Github repository changes again?
