Example of how to get points of interest data for specific LSOAs

Primary LanguagePython

Basic count points of interest of specified type in LSOA

In my current project i'm compiling points of interest within specific lower super output areas.

Using the overpass API I built this script that takes inputs of a location (which is checked by Nominatim) and amenity type (point of interest type, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity). It retrieves these and compares the lon/lat points to geojson polygons of LSOAs (in this case my pre-made West Yorkshire geojson file).

The principal used here might be helpful to others so here it is.
