A variety of tools are available to query, mine, and otherwise analyze OpenStreetMap data.
List of tools
The following tools allow arbitrary queries rather than simply displaying precomposed reports:
- Deep History – node, way, and relation history
- Ohsome Dashboard – tag usage history graphs, globally or by region, accounting for geometry
- OhsomeHeX – spatial-temporal tag usage maps
- osm tag history – global tag usage history graphs
- Overpass API and overpass turbo – query OpenStreetMap based on tags and geometry
- Sophox – federated queries of OpenStreetMap, OpenStreetMap Wiki data items, and Wikidata
- taginfo – tag usage statistics, globally or by region
- Wikidata Query Service – primarily queries Wikidata, including OpenStreetMap-related properties on Wikidata
