finops: model: free-open-source description: > Overpass API is free and open-source software (AGPL-3.0) operated as a community service. The main public instance is hosted and funded by FOSSGIS (Freie und Open Source GIS Community), a German non-profit organization that supports OpenStreetMap in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. There are no fees, API keys, or commercial tiers for using the public instances. cost: directCost: 0 currency: USD notes: > No charges to end users. The service is donation- and volunteer-funded. Heavy users are encouraged to donate to FOSSGIS or consider hosting their own Overpass API instance to reduce load on shared infrastructure. selfHosting: supported: true license: AGPL-3.0 sourceURL: https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API notes: > Organizations with high query volumes or data sensitivity requirements can self-host Overpass API on their own infrastructure. Installation documentation is available at overpass-api.de. Self-hosted instances require downloading and maintaining an OSM planet or regional extract. considerations: - title: Shared Public Resource description: > The public instances are community-funded shared infrastructure. Applications making heavy use should consider caching responses, reducing query frequency, and donating to FOSSGIS. - title: No SLA description: > Public instances have no formal SLA or uptime guarantees. For production applications requiring reliability, self-hosting or commercial OpenStreetMap data providers are recommended. - title: Data Freshness description: > The main instance updates from the OSM planet database with a lag of roughly 1-2 minutes for minutely diffs. Historical queries are supported via the [date:"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ"] filter. alternatives: - name: Self-Hosted Overpass API description: Deploy your own instance using the open-source software url: https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API - name: Geofabrik description: Commercial OpenStreetMap data services and extracts url: https://www.geofabrik.de/ - name: OpenStreetMap Data Exports description: Full planet and regional extract downloads url: https://planet.openstreetmap.org/
