Comma separated list of valid amenity values

Question

I'd like to get a comma separated list of all the valid values under the key 'amenity'. Is there anywhere that I can get this? I know they are listed on the wiki, but for programming purposes I need a full list and don't feel like copying each entry in the list manually (it will take ages).

For context I'm writing a C# SDK for Overpass API, and I'm creating an enum called AmenityType. It looks something like this:

public enum AmenityType
{
    invalid, 
    bar,
    bbq,
    biergarten,
    cafe,
    drinking_water,
    fast_food,
    food_court,
    ice_cream,
    pub,
    restaurant,
    college,
    kindergarten,
    library,
    public_bookcase,
    school,
    fire_station,
    fountain,
    place_of_worship,       
}

Now I just need all the values!

Answer 1

You can also take a look at the most popular amenity values at taginfo. This list is available via JSON. Moreover taginfo offers downloads for all databases.

Answer 2

There is an easy way to get the requested information if you have direct access to an OSM raw-data file, preferably in .pbf or .o5m format. If .pbf format, you need to convert it to .o5m first. In this example the file contains OSM data of the German region "Bremen":

osmconvert bremen.pbf -o=bremen.o5m

Then you can retrieve the "amenity" tag values:

osmfilter bremen.o5m --out-key=amenity

Answer 3

If you have OSM data in a database then just use SELECT DISTINCT on amenity. That will give you all the amenity types in your data (if not the entire globe).

Alternatively, with minimal editing, copy the table from the OSM page and select the one column you want.
