I have been using this endpoint to query data from the highway tags. But I am receiving data way outside the bbox? Is there something wrong with my query?
http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter?data=(node["highway"](34.21092368471588,-118.6453487197585,34.212720315284116,-118.64752128024149););out center;
Your bbox is at odds with the overpass syntax, and should read: (south,west,north,east). As you have swapped east and west, your bbox spans the whole globe.
Correct query would be:
(node["highway"](34.21092368471588, -118.64752128024149,34.21272031528411, -118.6453487197585););out center;
