from overpy import Overpass
from overpy import OverpassException

Initialize Overpass API, run a query, and iterate over results.

import overpy api = overpy.Overpass() result = api.query(""" node(50.745,7.17,50.75,7.18)["amenity"="restaurant"]; out body; """) for node in result.nodes: print(f"Node ID: {node.id}, Tags: {node.tags}")
Debug
Known footguns
gotchaThe Overpass API has rate limits and usage policies. Overpy does not handle retries; you must handle HTTP errors and API errors yourself.
gotchaThe default user agent is old and may be blocked. Some Overpass instances (e.g., overpass-api.de) require a custom user agent.
deprecatedThe old 'Overpass(url="http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter")' pattern without explicit user agent is discouraged.
