Polygon API for Munich #1

Open mattfullerton opened 9 years ago

mattfullerton commented 9 years ago

Use case: I have data, sometimes they are coded according to PLZ, sometimes Stadtteil, sometimes Bezirk, and I don't want to have to write a new script/overpass API query everytime to get the polygons I need for a visualisation. There might be other use cases. Do we want/need this?

Demo API call from @saerdnaer: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/61o

Great as lookup for the Hackathon, I'd say. Here's a reference of the Stadtteile (for spelling):

Is the Overpass demo call a permanent link or should we paste it here as well?

saerdnaer commented 9 years ago

It's permanent.
