An R interface to the OpenStreetMap API v0.6 for fetching and saving raw geodata from/to the OpenStreetMap database. This package allows access to OSM maps data as well as map notes, GPS traces, changelogs, and users data. To access OSM map data for purposes other than editing or exploring the history of the objects see Related packages.
You are responsible for following the API Usage

is the only package to access other OSM data than the maps
data (map notes, GPS traces, changelogs and users). It is also useful to
get the history of the OSM objects and is the only package that allows
editing and upload any kind of data.
To access OSM map data for purposes other than editing or exploring the
history of objects, it may be better to use other packages that
implement the Overpass API
(osmdata) or that works
with .pbf
files
(osmextract).
