🗺️ Overpass OSM POI Scraper

🚀 Pull local business listings from OpenStreetMap in seconds. Search any city by category and get names, addresses, phones, websites, and coordinates.

Collect points of interest from OpenStreetMap through the public Overpass API. Name a city or area, choose categories such as restaurants, hotels, pharmacies, or supermarkets, and get a clean list of places with their address, phone, website, email, opening hours, and exact latitude and longitude. You can also search around a coordinate with a radius, or add raw OpenStreetMap tag filters for anything not in the category list.

Coverage: the entire OpenStreetMap database, every country and city, across 45 ready made categories plus any custom tag.
