Use Case Description

E.g. Looking for elements inside a specific administrative boundary, the relation id would be given

Request Description

Add a new boundary option, where a search by area (either way or relation id) is possible. The user would give the area ids, and the API would return the elements inside it.

Hey @Robot8A , thanks for reaching out here and flagging this potential enhancement. We will discuss with our team how feasible this change is within the current ohsome API.

You might already know the ohsome Dashboard which let's you query OSM boundaries up to admin level 7 and 8.

You will note that this URL already contains the OSM-ID: 285864
