It handles the HTTP communication with Overpass servers and parses responses into Python objects representing ways, nodes, and relations from the map. The package abstracts away the details of Overpass query syntax and response parsing, letting you focus on extracting geographic features by their tags and coordinates.\n\nTypical workflows involve constructing an Overpass query (a specialized language for filtering OSM data), submitting it through the api.query() method, and then iterating over the returned ways, nodes, and relations to extract tags and geometry. The package also provides helper functions for common tasks like finding streets or intersections by name within a geographic boundary.","worth_installing":"Yes. Overpy is actively maintained, has no external dependencies, supports current Python versions, carries a permissive MIT license, and fills a clear niche for developers who need to query OpenStreetMap data programmatically. Install it if you're building location-aware applications or need to extract geographic features from OSM."},"id":"overpy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/overpy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/overpy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/overpy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-12-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"overpy","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python Wrapper to access the OpenStreepMap Overpass API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":103365,"position":12809,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7"}
