You can try QuickOSM plug-in for QGIS:

osm-in-qgis

QuickOSM

With the plugin you can download / extract data from OSM to your project as Points / Lines ... and afterwards use it as any other data in your qgis project.

or

use google api places

Also, is there a way to differentiate residential buildings/houses from commercial buildings/shops?

This is only possible if you find a tag that make this distinction and much more important someone has tagged it.

A python library could be:

momepy.org
