OpenStreetMap
I recently released the first version of a mostly-complete Java implementation of the XAPI server. The source code is available on my GitHub with a readme describing generally how to get it set up.
Running this database with a full-planet requires some large, fast disks. The database is roughly 350GB and is slowly increasing:
CPU and memory usage are useful for the initial import (indexing especially), but any subsequent queries will be limited by the disk speed.
Feel free to use it! Serge W. created an XAPI UI framework that I set up at http://openstreetmap.us/uixapi/xapi.html to build the XAPI query URLs.
At the moment, the Java XAPI seems to have a problem returning relations and doesn't implement child element predicates or special tags. If you find other problems, please file a bug.

You didn't actually mention the base URL for your new service: http://openstreetmap.us/xapi/api/0.6/
It works! Example: All the libraries in London : http://openstreetmap.us/xapi/api/0.6/*[amenity=library][bbox=-0.57,51.24,0.31,51.75]
Great work!
Камэнтар Tom Chance ад 26 Студзень 2011 у 16:24
Great, I'll give it a go.
Камэнтар Maarten Deen ад 26 Студзень 2011 у 16:37
Looks promising. But the performance with large bboxes isn't there yet.
Harry Wood's example works for me, I can also download banks in a 0.2x0.2 bbox, but trying to get banks for the whole of the Netherlands does not work yet. I get a "504 Gateway Time-out" message.
My test URL: http://openstreetmap.us/xapi/api/0.6/*[amenity=bank][bbox=2.5,50.7,7.2,53.6]

The machine restarted itself at 16:00UTC or so, which lines itself up with your request fairly well.
But yes, large bounding box queries are mildly slow -- I don't remember them being particularly fast on the other system, though.

I get the same message trying to download all power generators in the UK.
http://openstreetmap.us/xapi/api/0.6/*[power=generator][-6.5,49.68,2.67,61.31]
Just London works fine:
http://openstreetmap.us/xapi/api/0.6/*[power=generator][bbox=-0.5

It bounced a few more times and is down hard now. There appear to be some ECC memory errors, but I put fresh memory in a while back. Looks to be a bad motherboard. Thanks for the stress test, everyone!
Камэнтар Geonick ад 27 Студзень 2011 у 23:13
Is this XAPI UI really reflect the syntax of XAPI? Currently there is only one tag predicate. Isn't it possible to query more than one, like
http://openstreetmap.us/xapi/api/0.6/*[amenity=parking][capacity:disabled=*][bbox=-0.57,51.24,0.31,51.75]
Actually, even the OSM wiki leaves this question open:
osm.wiki/Xapi#Predicates
It would be nice anyhow that the wiki page get's enhanced with a real syntax definition.
Камэнтар iandees ад 28 Студзень 2011 у 01:24
@Geonick: yes, this really does follow the XAPI query syntax. You can indeed supply multiple tag predicates. It will eventually be possible to include multiple bounding box predicates, but at the moment I only allow one.
Камэнтар Katzman ад 9 Сакавік 2011 у 21:01
Two things:
- so the possibility to enter multiple tags is not implemented yet, right?
- is it possible to do non-case sensitive search on the values, such as icao=lklt would return any combination of LKLT, lklt, LKlt, LkLt, etc.?
Thanks!
Камэнтар iandees ад 9 Сакавік 2011 у 21:03
@Katzman:
1. It is possible to enter multiple tag predicates:
[amenity=foo|bar] := "amenity"="foo" OR "amenity"="bar"
[amenity|leisure=foo] := "amenity"="foo" OR "leisure"="foo"
[amenity=foo][area=bar] := "amenity"="foo" AND "area"="bar"
2. Not at this time.
Камэнтар Arminus ад 21 Сакавік 2011 у 19:34
Very nice ! Any updates on the relation problem ?
Камэнтар Tilo ад 31 Сакавік 2011 у 17:45
Is the jxapi down at the moment?
I want to prevent denied download requests before the request is sent. How is it handled, if a bbox is too large? like this?
[bbox=West,South,East,North]
if difference(West,East)*difference(South,North) > 10 --> denied
if difference(West,East)*difference(South,North) <= 10 --> accepted
Is it planned to allow larger bboxes than 10 sqaredegrees in future?
Thanks!
Камэнтар Tilo ад 31 Сакавік 2011 у 17:48
[bbox=West,South,East,North]
if difference(West,East)*difference(South,North) > 10 --- denied
if difference(West,East)*difference(South,North) <= 10 --- accepted
Камэнтар iandees ад 31 Сакавік 2011 у 17:51
@Tilo: No, the jxapi is/was not down. It was getting inundated with duplicate requests so the process queue was very long. I restarted postgres to clean out the queue.
I compute the sum of the areas of the requested bounding box(es) and compare that to 10. If larger, 500. If less, let it through.
There are no plans to do areas larger than 10 square degrees. As you can see already the hardware has a hard enough time keeping up.
Камэнтар Tilo ад 31 Сакавік 2011 у 17:51
damn,
the third line was supposed to look like this (now, in words):
if difference(West,East)*difference(South,North) is less or equal 10 then accepted
Камэнтар Tilo ад 31 Сакавік 2011 у 17:59
Great! thanks a lot.
Камэнтар Tilo ад 1 Красавік 2011 у 04:36
I just tested a little smaller request than 10 square degrees with the request below (9.8 sqdeg) and ran into an Error. see the message below from http://jxapi.openstreetmap.org/xapi/admin/stats
ERROR way[boundary=administrative][bbox=8,48,10,52.9] 144 30 mins 32.909 secs
What is wrong with the request? Is there another reason for denial than the bounding box?
Thanks
Камэнтар Tilo ад 1 Красавік 2011 у 05:12
this worked:
way[boundary=administrative][bbox=8,48,10,52] (221655 elements)
but this didn't:
way[bbox=8,48,10,52]
???
Камэнтар malcolmh ад 5 Красавік 2011 у 09:44
Bounding boxes that straddle 180 E/W are rejected. I assume this is because West > East. Is this a bug or a feature?

Great! Thanks for making progress brining xapi back to life!
It would be nice if the status page at http://jxapi.openstreetmap.org/xapi/admin/stats gave details on the ERROR, rather than simply saying ERROR.
Камэнтар Tilo ад 28 Красавік 2011 у 02:51
I agree with Bryce on both!
about 14 days ago this request: *[bbox=8.173,49.815,9.173,50.554] worked fine.
size 523 MB
Yesterday in the afternoon and today (at night) I always got an error. I tried 5 times each. Neither the bbox limitation of 10 sqare degrees (less than 2 sqdeg here) nor the syntax should be a problem in this request. What are the other limitations which cause an error?
Have new limitations been implemented between apr,14 and apr,28?
