I would like to extract all surface parking spots in germany as nodes from osm. Gladly I have found overpass-turbo.eu, but unfortunately it is not working for my purpose... Either the server is too busy or I get a timeout. My request is:

/*
This has been generated by the overpass-turbo wizard.
The original search was:
“parking=surface in germany”
*/
[out:xml][timeout:500000];
// fetch area “germany” to search in
{{geocodeArea:germany}}->.searchArea;
// gather results
(
  // query part for: “parking=surface”
  node["parking"="surface"](area.searchArea);
);
// print results
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

Am I doing something wrong?

    Your timeout value is way too high, that's almost 6 days! In any case try a really small area first (e.g. Saarland) to check if results are what you're looking for. I doubt that's the case with your current query.

  • Maybe you should look into osmfilter on a Geofabrik extract,

    The bigger issue is that many amenity=parking are mapped as way, so for Germany, you're missing out on 327695 ways, see: taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/amenity=parking

It worked with the following code

[timeout:600];
{{geocodeArea:germany}}->.searchArea;

// gather results
node[amenity="parking"](area.searchArea);

// print results
out body;
