world bbox object v15.0.0

Fetch OSM world geometry for a bounding box (south,west,north,east) as GeoJSON (roads, buildings, water, greenery).

In pins 9 + flow

flow
flow
bbox v15.0.0
value
Bounding box as south,west,north,east (WGS84). Takes precedence over the separate coordinate pins.
south v15.0.0
number
South latitude (used when bbox is empty).
west v15.0.0
number
West longitude (used when bbox is empty).
north v15.0.0
number
North latitude (used when bbox is empty).
east v15.0.0
number
East longitude (used when bbox is empty).
kinds v15.0.0
object
Optional array (or comma-separated value) limiting which feature kinds are returned: road, building, water, green. Empty returns all four.
simplify v15.0.0
number
Optional Douglas–Peucker tolerance in degrees (0 = off). Simplifies roads/water/green lines and areas; buildings stay crisp.
overpass url v15.0.0
value
Optional Overpass interpreter URL. Empty uses the public instance : set a self-hosted instance in production.
cache ttl (s) v15.0.0
number
Disk-cache freshness in seconds. Empty/0 uses the default (7 days); negative disables caching. bbox requests are cached by a hash of the box, kinds and simplify tolerance.
