Fixme notes

Mappers leave fixme (or FIXME) tags where something needs checking. A key regular expression with the i flag finds both spellings.

The query

[out:json][timeout:60];
area["ISO3166-1"="LU"][admin_level=2]->.lu;
nwr[~"^fixme$"~".",i](area.lu);
out center;

Run it

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

How it works

1. [~"^fixme$"~".",i] is a filter on keys: any key matching fixme, any value, case-insensitive.
2. The fixme text explains what needs checking; it is shown in the result table below.

Variations

• Similar tags: note (permanent remarks for mappers) and check_date (when a feature was last verified).

Run it from your code

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

import requests

query = open("query.overpassql").read()
r = requests.post("https://api.overpass.ch/v1/YOUR_API_KEY/interpreter",
                  data={"data": query}, timeout=120)
r.raise_for_status()
print(r.json()["elements"][:3])

const res = await fetch("https://api.overpass.ch/v1/YOUR_API_KEY/interpreter", {
  method: "POST",
  body: new URLSearchParams({ data: query }),
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(await res.text());
console.log(await res.json());

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