The build the documentation locally, you can use

pdoc --html osmapi.OsmApi # create HTML file

Examples

Read from OpenStreetMap

import osmapi
api = osmapi.OsmApi()
print api.NodeGet(123)
# {u'changeset': 532907, u'uid': 14298,
# u'timestamp': u'2007-09-29T09:19:17Z',
# u'lon': 10.790009299999999, u'visible': True,
# u'version': 1, u'user': u'Mede',
# u'lat': 59.9503044, u'tag': {}, u'id': 123}

Constructor

import osmapi
api = osmapi.OsmApi(api="api06.dev.openstreetmap.org", username = "you", password = "***")
api = osmapi.OsmApi(username = "you", passwordfile = "/etc/mypasswords")
api = osmapi.OsmApi(passwordfile = "/etc/mypasswords") # username will be first line username

Note: The password file should have the format user:password

Write to OpenStreetMap

import osmapi
api = osmapi.OsmApi(username = u"metaodi", password = u"*******")
api.ChangesetCreate({u"comment": u"My first test"})
print api.NodeCreate({u"lon":1, u"lat":1, u"tag": {}})
# {u'changeset': 532907, u'lon': 1, u'version': 1, u'lat': 1, u'tag': {}, u'id': 164684}
api.ChangesetClose()
