Overpass issues when querying changesets - nrenner/achavi GitHub Wiki
- no direct way to query by changeset id
- adiff query with large bbox/time range takes too long (timeout)
- adiff and minutely augmented diffs contain delta (no in-between versions) instead of full history, unlike OSM minutely diffs
- unable to query an object version when a later version has the same timestamp (both edited in the same second), by design
-
to deliver all version of a given object [...] is not on the mission statement for Overpass API
Overpass API is designed around time slices and not object's life cycles.https://dev.overpass-api.de/blog/sliced_time_and_space.html#timeline
- minutely augmented diffs aligned by date instead of transaction id, unlike OSM minutely diffs
- adiff query with changeset
created_atandclosed_attime range misses edits when OSM API and DB clocks are out of sync - no attic data before September 2012
