ocm-export

Export of OCM POI data into one file per POI

This is an experimental export of the live data from openchargemap.org. In the data folder you will find:

• referencedata.json - data used for ID lookups such as country ID, Connection Type ID etc.
• POI data is arranged as subfolders named after the 2-digit ISO Country code for the location of the POI. Country folders may contains many thousands of entries.

To consume the data, import all of the POI json files you need for the countries you want to use into the tool of your choice.

Purpose

To provide a granular view of change history over time per POI

Ideas

Create one commit per modified POI, with comment showing name of contributor and editor/approver

Refreshing Data

The export is performed by calling the main API with parameters maxresults=200000&compact=true&verbose=false&includecomments=true. The resulting single POI json file is split into files using: node ./tools/parse-all/index.js

Data Licensing Notes
