Request: Custom file names for custom metro extract requests #166

Open IndyHurt opened 8 years ago

IndyHurt commented 8 years ago

The file name of my first custom metro extract is ex_Gy4qNDDaADes7swaFXr33Wc4JwTVL.osm.pbf

It would be helpful to have a custom file name that uses the name of the area I searched for i.e. Trinidad-and-Tobago.osm.pbf

Even better might be the place name followed by a date that reflects the date of the date of the planet file used to obtain my custom metro extract - i.e. Trinidad-and-Tobago_20160714.osm.pbf

@sleepylemur / @heffergm it’d be interesting to provide for a (non-unique) name in the ODES service, so that download URLs could be reformatted without losing the long unique identifier:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/mapzen.odes/{guid}/{name}.osm2pgsql-shapefiles.zip

This should have no effect on S3 keys, but may provide a better download experience. The names could be based on WoF as they are now, and need not be returned in the API.
