OSM API

The OpenStreetMap (OSM) API is a set of tools that allows users to interact with and modify the OSM database, which contains detailed map data created by a global community. It enables applications and contributors to add, update, or delete map information such as roads, buildings, and landmarks. Think of it as a bridge between users and the map’s underlying data, facilitating collaborative map editing and data management. This API makes it possible for developers to build services, tools, and applications that depend on accurate, up-to-date map information contributed by volunteers worldwide.
