I am trying to select all categories of shops for a portion of the UK.

To select just the supermarkets I would use "shop" = "supermarket", and so forth, while to select all categories I have tried "shop" = "*" but no results are returned.

Do you know how the below statements can be fixed to select all categories of shops? thanks

/* This has been generated by the overpass-turbo wizard. The original search was: “shop” */ [out:json][timeout:25]; // gather results ( // query part for: “shop” node"shop" = "*"; );

// print results out body;

; out skel qt;

enter image description here

  • Try upping the timeout time to something like 2500. Run again. – Erik Mar 12 at 9:11
  • Or, and remove the " around your *. – Erik Mar 12 at 9:13
  • Hi Eric, thanks for the suggestion, but still no records returned with 2500 – john Mar 12 at 9:13
  • by removing the quotes I get this error message: An error occured during the execution of the overpass query! This is what overpass API returned: Error: line 10: parse error: Value expected - '' found. Error: line 10: parse error: ']' expected - '' foundAn error occured during the execution of the overpass query!

The correct syntax would be

[out:json][timeout:250];
// gather results
(
  // query part for: “shop=*”
  node["shop"]({{bbox}});
);
// print results
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

I strongly suggest using the wizard to create your request if you're unfamiliar with the overpass-turbo/OSM syntax.
