Python tool to extract large-amounts of OpenStreetMap data

earth-osm

by

earth-osm is a free software tool that can extract large-amounts of OpenStreetMap data. It implements filters and multi-processing for fast and memory-efficient computations. You can extract e.g. power lines for the whole Africa on your laptop. It builds on esy-osmfilter and improves its package design, usability and performance.

Getting Started

Install earth-osm

pip install git+https://github.com/pypsa-meets-earth/earth-osm.git

Extract osm data

# Example CLI command
earth_osm extract power --regions benin monaco  --features substation line

This will extract primary feature = power for the regions = benin and monaco and the secondary features = substation and line. By default the resulting .csv and .geojson are stored in ./earth_data/out

Load the substation data for benin using pandas

# For Pandas
df_substations = pd.read_csv('./earth_data/out/BJ_raw_substations.csv')
# For GeoPandas
gdf_substations = gpd.read_file('./earth_data/out/BJ_raw_substations.geojson')

Other Arguments

usage: earth_osm extract primary --regions region1, region2 --features feature1, feature2 --data_dir DATA_DIR [--update] [--mp]

primary (e.g power, water, road, etc) NOTE: currently only power is supported

--regions region1 region2 ... (use either iso3166-1:alpha2 or iso3166-2 codes or full names as given by running 'earth_osm view regions')

--features feature1 feature2 ... (optional, use sub-features of primary feature, e.g. substation, line, etc)

--update (optional, update existing data, dafult False)

--mp (optional, use multiprocessing, default True)

--data_dir (optional, path to data directory, default './earth_data')

Advanced Usage

import earth_osm as eo

eo.get_osm_data(
  primary_name = 'power',
  region_list = ['benin', 'monaco'],
  feature_list = ['substation', 'line'],
  update = False,
  mp = True,
  data_dir = './earth_data',
)

Development

(Optional) Intstall a specific version of earth_osm

pip install git+https://github.com/pypsa-meets-earth/earth-osm.git@<required-commit-hash>

(Optional) Create a virtual environment for python>=3.10

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
