Preben OSM's Library (prvosm)

A simple Python library that makes accessing data from the OSM API dead easy and convenient.

Features

Read-only OSM API access: I never really use Python to write anything to OSM, so a simple read-only API is all that I need, hence all that this library provides at the moment.
Object/type oriented: Instead of dealing with a bunch of nested dictionaries, everything is properly parsed into an object using Pydantic. Want to fetch the details for the user that made a changeset? Call changeset.fetch_user() and a User object is returned.
Easy geometries: OSM elements (nodes, ways, relations, notes) have functions and properties to get shapely geometries.
Cached: Following good practice, objects and responses are stored in a sqlite cache.
Almost all read end-points added: There are a handful that I haven't got around to implementing, but most are implemented.

For documentation, roadmaps, etc. see prvinspace.github.io/prvosm/.

This library is maintained by Preben Vangberg. You can pop me a message on OSM, Discord or Matrix if there is anything.
