OpenStreetMap Places Scraper — POIs, Addresses, Opening Hours

Get points of interest from OpenStreetMap, the free map of the world: restaurants, cafés, shops, hotels, pharmacies, fuel stations, schools and 55 more ready categories — or anything you can describe with an OSM tag. Every place comes with its name, type, coordinates, street address, opening hours, website and — for businesses and public places, as tagged in OpenStreetMap — brand, cuisine, wheelchair access and all its other OSM tags. Type a place name, paste an openstreetmap.org link, or draw a bounding box.

Why this one

• 🗺️ Any place, exactly its boundary. Type a city, a district or a postcode (Szentendre, Mitte, Berlin, 10115 Berlin) and it is searched inside its official boundary — not a rough rectangle. Or give a bounding box, or a radius around the centre of a place.
• 🏷️ 62 ready categories, or any OSM tag. Tick restaurants, hotels, pharmacies, supermarkets, car repair … or write your own filter: amenity=restaurant & cuisine=pizza, shop=bakery|pastry, ["diet:vegan"="yes"].
• ⚡ Fast. A live test run read nine searches — restaurants, hotels and cafés with outdoor seating in Budapest, Berlin-Mitte and central Paris — 5,056 places in 4 min 41 s, waiting its turn on the public servers. The small example search (restaurants and cafés in Szentendre) takes 5-7 seconds.
• 🔒 No private homes, no personal contacts. Places that look like somebody's home — a holiday flat, an office or workshop in a house, a private pool, a bare address — are left out. The website is kept only for named businesses and public places; phone numbers, e-mail addresses, social accounts, operators and tax numbers are never in the output.
• 🤝 Kind to the free servers. It uses the public Overpass API and Nominatim within their rules: at most two queries at a time, rate limits waited out, one geocoding request a second. If a server is busy, the query moves to another public Overpass server.
• 💸 You pay only for places delivered. A place that OpenStreetMap does not know, a broken filter or an empty search comes back as a free record with the reason.

How to use it

1. Type Places (one per line), or paste openstreetmap.org links to a relation or way, or add Bounding boxes (south, west, north, east).
2. Tick Categories, and/or write OSM tags for anything else.
3. Set Max places per search — each place × category is one search.
4. Press Start, and download the results from the Output tab as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Leave Only places with a name on for business lists; turn it off to get unnamed things too (benches, car parks, post boxes). Use Radius around the place for "everything within 1 km of the Eiffel Tower".

You can also call it from the Apify API, from Make, Zapier or n8n, or from an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

Pricing

You are charged per place delivered — see the price on this page. Places OpenStreetMap does not know, filters that cannot be read and searches with no results are free.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? From OpenStreetMap, through the public Overpass API; place names are looked up with Nominatim. The data is © OpenStreetMap contributors and available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL): if you publish it, credit "© OpenStreetMap contributors" and share derived databases under the same licence — see openstreetmap.org/copyright.

How fresh is it? Minutes old: the main Overpass servers were 1-2 minutes behind OpenStreetMap when tested. Only when all the others are busy does a query go to overpass.private.coffee, whose copy was two months old when tested — every record's dataAsOf says which data it came from.

How complete is it? As complete as OpenStreetMap is in that area — very good in most European cities, thinner in rural areas. Websites and opening hours are there when a mapper added them: in the live run over Budapest, Berlin-Mitte and central Paris (5,056 restaurants, hotels and cafés), 65% had a street address, 57% opening hours and 50% a website.

How many places per search? All of them — there is no paging limit: a live run delivered all 1,780 named restaurants of Budapest from one search, and found 6,501 shops in Kraków. Very large areas (a whole country for "every kind of shop") can be too heavy for the public servers; split them into regions or bounding boxes, or set Your own Overpass server.

My two areas overlap — do I pay twice? No. A place found by two searches in the same run is delivered once, under the first search that found it; a search whose places were all delivered already says so in a free record. (In a live run, Berlin-Mitte "any shop" gave 1,222 new places after the postcode 10115 inside it had taken 195.)

Why is a place a little outside my bounding box? A building or area that reaches into the box is included, and its point is its centre — which can lie just outside (1 of 1,892 places in a live run).

Why no phone numbers or e-mails? A small business often lists its owner's own mobile, so no phone number is delivered; the website is. E-mail addresses, phone numbers, social accounts and the names of operators are left out, and places that look like private homes are not delivered at all. Some small businesses carry their owner's name as their business name; it is output as the map shows it.

Is this affiliated with OpenStreetMap? No. This is an independent tool that reads the public OpenStreetMap data through the public Overpass and Nominatim services. It is not endorsed by the OpenStreetMap Foundation.
