Get street addresses from OpenStreetMap

Question

I want to get the street addresses for all the buildings in London from OpenStreetMap, but I'm not sure how to request for it?

Can someone tell me what request predicate I should use?

Just London, but I need the street addresses since I'm trying to make an locator — SilviaSnow, Jul 5, 2015 at 4:55

You want to make use of (your own) Nominatim geocoder. Or you use an data extract and filter it for objects with addr:* tags.

Answer that by yoursekf by: what address tags do you NEED? see the link from user Mapper into the OSM wiki about "addr: tagging" ... maybe if you are not so familiar with OSM data structure see wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Elements first.

Also see the OSM wiki about wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Planet.osm for downloading raw data, wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmfilter about filtering those country extracts, or alternatively wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_turbo to get filtered OSM data by own queries ... for testing purposes.
