ox_features_from_bbox R Documentation
Download features within a bounding box
Description
Queries OpenStreetMap (via Overpass) for elements matching tags — points of
interest, amenities, buildings, transit stops, and so on — returning them as
an sf of points (ways and relations are represented by their centroid).
Usage
ox_features_from_bbox(bbox, tags)
Arguments
bbox
Numeric c(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax) in longitude/latitude.
tags
Named list of OSM tag filters. Each element is either TRUE
(key present with any value) or a character vector of allowed values, e.g.
list(amenity = c("school", "hospital")).
Value
An sf of POINT features with osm_type, osm_id and one column
per tag encountered.
Examples
bbox <- c(-34.91, -8.07, -34.87, -8.04)
ox_features_from_bbox(bbox, tags = list(amenity = "school"))
