OSMPID / OSM Persistent IDs
/ Capability · Generate

Generate an OSMPID

Assemble a persistent ID from an element type and id, with optional tags. The service resolves the current version and the latest child timestamp from live OSM, then returns a string built to grammar — ready to store or validate.

ElementGET / generate
element_type*
Determines recursion depth. Nodes have no children, so they carry no timestamp.
element_id* The OSM source-local numeric id. Resolved against current OSM state.
tags optional url-encoded key, with or without a value. Pins the object's semantic meaning.
