Introduction

Working with geographic data often requires precise boundaries for cities, districts, or other administrative areas. In this project, we want to create this process seamless by allowing users to extract detailed polygon data directly from OpenStreetMap (OSM). Instead of manually searching for shapefiles or relying on third-party sources, this project enables us to retrieve administrative boundaries programmatically with just a few lines of code. This is especially useful for urban planning, spatial analysis, and mapping applications, as it provides accurate and up-to-date data sourced from the global OSM community.

The Code

By calling maps.get_geodata_area, we extract specific polygon geographic data from the vast OpenStreetMap database. we can request multiple polygon data in this code. we also can specifically to get amenity for single area by input dict amenity at amenity_list.

amenity_list= {'amenity': ['cafe', 'pub'], 
                'tourism': ['gallery']}

maps.get_geodata_area(places= ['Jakarta'], amenity_list=amenity_list)

This function requires the following parameters:

• places(list): specific locations
• amenity_list (list): amenity list that we want to extract.

The result

Combination between Polygon and amenity at that polygon
