osmdata (development version)

osmdata 0.3.0

CRAN release: 2025-08-23

Breaking changes

  • Remove magrittr from imports. User code relaying on reexported pipe %>% from osmdata must explicitly load it with library(magrittr). Code examples, tests and vignettes now use the pipe from base (|>) available since R 4.1 (#361)
  • getbb(..., format_out = "polygon") return polygons following [https://www.ogc.org/standards/sfa/]. Polygons are defined by a list of matrices of coordinates. The first ring defines the exterior boundary, and the following rings define holes if present. Also fix getbb(..., format_out = "sf_polygon") returning each (multi)polygon as a row in an sf object. Before, every ring was an independent polygon, even for holes or multipolygons, and for format_out = "sf_polygon", the features were split in a list with polygons in one item and multipolygons in another (#378).

Major changes

  • Implemented c.osmdata_sc method to join osmdata_sc objects (#333)
  • Depends on R >= 4.1 to use the base pipe (|>) in examples and vignettes (#371)
  • Deprecate nodes_only argument in opq(). Superseded by argument osm_types (#370)
  • Deprecate osmdata_sp (#372)
  • Pre-prend class names osmdata_sf and osmdata rather than append; thanks to @agila5 (#373)
  • Add osmadata_data.frame class to osmdata_data_frame() results (#378)
  • Reimplement trim_osmdata() using sf instead of sp. Now, it checks the full geometry instead of just the points to determine if an object is properly contained in the bbox (only for osmdata_sf objects, osdmata_sc still wrong) (#382).

This release welcomes a new package author @jmaspons. The lists of changes here gives an overview of the amazing work he has contributed to this new major version.

Major changes:

  • New osmdata_data_frame() function to return non-spatial data.frame structures directly from overpass; thanks to @jmaspons (#285).

  • opq() now has additional “out” parameter to control the kinds of data returned by overpass; thanks to @jmaspons (#288).
  • opq() now has additional “osm_types” parameter to provide finer control of which kinds of data are returned by overpass; thanks to @jmaspons (#295).

Major changes:

  • New osm_enclosing() function; thanks to @barryrowlingson via #199
  • opq() now has additional datetime and datetime2 parameters which can be used to extract historical data prior to datetime, or differences between two datetimes by specifying datetime2; thanks to @neogeomat for the idea in issue#179.
  • opq() also has additional nodes_only parameter to return nodes as points only, for efficient extraction of strictly point-based OSM data; thanks to @gdkrmr for the idea in issue#221.

Minor changes:

CRAN release: 2020-02-09

Major changes:

  • osmdata_pbf function removed as the overpass server no longer provides the experimental API for pbf-format data.

Minor changes:

  • getbb now allows arbitrary featuretype specification, no longer just those pertaining to settlement forms.

Minor changes:

  • bug fix in trim_osmdata function

osmdata 0.1.0

CRAN release: 2019-04-25

Major changes:

  • New function, osm_elevation to insert elevation data into SC-format data returned by osmdata_sc function.
  • New vignette on osmdata_sc function and elevation data.
  • opq() function now accepts polygonal bounding boxes generated with getbb(..., format_out = "polygon").

osmdata 0.0.10

CRAN release: 2019-03-21

Minor changes:

  • Bug fix for vectorized lists of values in add_osm_feature, so only listed items are returns (see #139; thanks @loreabad6)
  • But fix to ensure all sf data.frame objects have stringsAsFactors = FALSE

osmdata 0.0.9

CRAN release: 2018-12-19

Major changes:

  • New function osmdata_sc to return data in silicate::SC format (see github.com/hypertidy/silicate; this also requires additional dependency on tibble)
  • Structure of osmdata object modified to replace former $timestamp field with $meta field containing a list of $timestamp, $OSM_version (currently 0.6), and $overpass_version.
  • add_osm_feature() now accepts vectors of multiple values (see #139).
  • osmdata_sf() objects default to character vectors, not factors (see #44).

Minor changes:

osmdata 0.0.8

CRAN release: 2018-10-22

  • Fix bug in trim_osmdata so that all sf attributes are reinstated, and also issue message that sf-preload is necessary for this function
  • Fix bug with opq (key_exact = FALSE) so value_exact is always also set to FALSE

osmdata 0.0.7

CRAN release: 2018-05-17

  • Fix bug in c method so it works when sf not loaded
  • Fix bug in overpass query syntax to match new QL requirements

osmdata 0.0.6

CRAN release: 2018-02-22

  • Add new function ‘osm_poly2line()’ to coerce the ‘osmdataodmpolygons′objectfor′osmdatasf′objectstolines,andappendto′osmdataodm_polygons' object for 'osmdata_sf' objects to lines, and append to 'osmdataosm_lnes’. This is important for street networks (‘add_osm_objects (key = “highway”)’), which are otherwise separated between these two components.
  • Add new function opq_osm_id to query by OSM identifier alone
  • Add timeout and memsize options to opq() to improve handling large queries.
  • Return useful information from overpass server when it returns neither error nor useful data
  • Make C++ code interruptible so long processing can be cancelled
  • Fix minor yet important C++ code lines that prevented package being used as dependency by other packages on some systems

osmdata 0.0.5

CRAN release: 2017-08-13

  • Add extraction of bounding polygons with getbb (..., format_out = "polygon")
  • Add trim_osmdata function to trim an osmdata object to within a bounding polygon (thanks @sytpp)
  • Add unique_osmdata function which reduces each component of an osmdata object only to unique elements (so $osm_points, for example, only contains points that are not represented in other - line, polygon, whatever - objects).
  • Rename add_feature to add_osm_feature (and deprecate old version)
