remote control with an Overpass query

[Polyglot]

Hi,

I'd like to see an enhancement of the remote control capabilities, such that one can pass in an Overpass API query. If no bounding box is given, open the download dialog and let the user select an area.

If no url is given, use the standard Overpass instance.

Is there any blocking idea here? If not, is someone implementing it? If not, are there pointers on how to get started on it?

Thanks!

Most likely not.

Not at the moment.

If not, are there pointers on how to get started on it?

Remote control is organized in handlers – one for each endpoint such as /import, /zoom, /add_node. Take a look at org.openstreetmap.josm.io.remotecontrol.handler.AddNodeHandler for /add_node which is a simple one. The parameter addtags= causes JOSM to display a dialog for adding tags.

Thanks simon04 for the insight!

Someone pointed me to a work around: one can use loading via URL by encoding Overpass query directly:

​http://127.0.0.1:8111/import?url=https%3A%2F%2Foverpass-api.de%2Fapi%2Finterpreter%3Fdata%3Darea(3601403916)-%253E.searchArea%253B%250Anode(id%253A1)(area.searchArea)%253B%250Aout%2520meta%253B%252F*fixed%2520by%2520auto%2520repair*%252F

So maybe that issue can be closed if you wish.
