OSM-ID for poIs

[dspangenberg]

Hi,

to get the OSM-ID for pois in my map, I added the following line to my process.lua

obj:Attribute("osmid", obj:Id())

function WritePOI(obj,class,subclass,rank)
	local layer = "poi"
	if rank>4 then layer="poi_detail" end
	obj:LayerAsCentroid(layer)
	SetNameAttributes(obj)
	obj:AttributeNumeric("rank", rank)
        obj:Attribute("osmid", obj:Id())
	obj:Attribute("class", class)
	obj:Attribute("subclass", subclass)
end

On the first view, it's looks good, because there is an osmid for my pois. But only for a part of my samples, I get actually results with the ID via Nominatim or Overpass.

Has anyone a clue why?

Thank you and best regards,
Danny

The id could refer to a node or a way - if you can't find it through the OSM API at /node/12345, have you tried looking at /way/12345?

Yes, at least via overpass.

node(2327096849);
way(2327096849);
out;

So there's a POI at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2327096849 - is that not what you're expecting?

Obviously my overpass request is wrong. I made now some samples over Nominatim and I get either a result for the way or the node. Thank you!
