Create, update, or close a changeset

Usage

osm_create_changeset(
  comment,
  ...,
  created_by = paste("osmapiR", getOption("osmapir.osmapir_version")),
  verbose = FALSE
)

osm_update_changeset(
  changeset_id,
  comment,
  ...,
  created_by = paste("osmapiR", getOption("osmapir.osmapir_version")),
  verbose = FALSE
)

osm_close_changeset(changeset_id)

Arguments

comment

Tag comment is mandatory.

...

Arbitrary tags to add to the changeset as named parameters (key = "value").

created_by

Tag with the client data. By default, osmapiR x.y.z.

verbose

If TRUE, print the tags of the new changeset.

changeset_id

The id of the changeset to update. The user issuing this API call has to be the same that created the changeset.

Value

The ID of the newly created changeset or a data.frame inheriting osmapi_changesets with the details of the updated changeset.

Nothing is returned upon successful closing of a changeset.

Details

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Changeset for details and the most common changeset's tags.

When updating a changeset, unchanged tags have to be repeated in order to not be deleted.

Functions

  • osm_create_changeset(): Open a new changeset for editing.

  • osm_update_changeset(): Update the tags of an open changeset.

  • osm_close_changeset(): Close a changeset. A changeset may already have been closed without the owner issuing this API call. In this case an error code is returned.
