Overpass query example

Defibrillators (AEDs)

Find public defibrillators. Example: Switzerland, where volunteers mapped over 17,000.

Automated external defibrillators are points tagged emergency=defibrillator. indoor, access and opening_hours tell whether one can be reached.

The query

[out:json][timeout:60];
area["ISO3166-1"="CH"][admin_level=2]->.ch;
node["emergency"="defibrillator"](area.ch);
out;

Run it

Running the query…

Live result from overpass.ch, cached for up to 12 hours. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).

How it works

  1. Defibrillators are mapped as points.
  2. defibrillator:location describes in words where to find it.

Variations

  • Available around the clock: add ["opening_hours"="24/7"].

Run it from your code

curl https://api.overpass.ch/v1/YOUR_API_KEY/interpreter \
  --data-urlencode 'data@query.overpassql'

Save the query as query.overpassql. It works the same in Overpass Turbo, QGIS and JOSM.
