In rcrisp: Automate the Delineation of Urban River Spaces

Retrieve OpenStreetMap data as sf object

Description

Query the Overpass API for a key:value pair within a given bounding box (provided as lat/lon coordiates). Results are cached, so that new queries with the same input parameters will be loaded from disk.

Usage

osmdata_as_sf(key, value, aoi, force_download = FALSE)

Arguments

key	A case-insensitive character vector of length 1 with the key to filter the data
value	A case-insensitive character vector with the value(s) to filter the data
aoi	An area of interest, provided either as as sf object or "bbox" or as a vector ("xmin", "ymin", "xmax", "ymax")
force_download	Download data even if cached data is available

Value

An osmdata::osmdata object with the retrieved OpenStreetMap data

Examples

bb <- get_osm_bb("Bucharest")
osmdata_as_sf(key = "highway",
              value = "motorway",
              aoi = bb,
              force_download = FALSE)
