can't convert OSM ways data to geoJSON

[baoqger]

I send the following request to Overpass API: http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter?data=[out:json];way(50.7460,7.170,50.7461,7.171);out; and get the following OSM data in JSON format:

                "source:outline": "ALK NRW"
            }
        }
    ]
}

And then the npm osmtogeojson package failed to output the featurecollection, instead, I only get an empty list as following:

{
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "features": []
}

So what's the problem here? My usage is wrong or the tool miss this function?

[philshem]

I'm not a developer on the project, but the usage should be .osm (xml) file as input, and .geojson as output. If you input a .geojson, then I expect an empty output like you show.

[yanngv29]

Not really sure but having the same problem, it seems that if there is no node element with the way, conversion will not work.

[lederer]

Specifying out geom; for the output appears to help.

Use [out:xml] not [out:json] in Overpass - your input is in wrong format (and no, it is not Geojson either)
