OpenStreetMap POI Scraper — local business data by category & area, address, phone, coordinates & hours, no API key

Extract points of interest and local businesses from OpenStreetMap by category and area. Give it a place name and a category and get back clean, structured JSON: name, full address, coordinates, phone, website, email, and opening hours. Backed by free community map data — no account, no API key. Great for lead generation, local market research, and building location datasets.

Features

• 🗂️ 20 ready categories — pick from restaurants, cafes, bars, hotels, supermarkets, pharmacies, banks, gyms, and more via category, or use custom.
• 🏷️ Custom tag filters — with category: custom, target any OSM tags via customFilters like shop=bakery or tourism=museum.
• 📍 Full location data — each POI carries latitude/longitude, a structured address, plus ready osmUrl and googleMapsUrl links.
• ☎️ Contact details — phone, website, and email pulled from OSM contact tags where present.
• 🕒 Rich attributes — openingHours, cuisine, brand, operator, and wheelchair accessibility, plus the raw tags object.
• 🌍 Any area, auto-geocoded — pass place names like Austin, Texas or Berlin; each is geocoded to a bounding box automatically.
• 🔢 Volume control — cap output with maxItemsPerArea (up to 10000); results are deduplicated per area.
