Supermarkets open on Sunday

Opening hours are stored in a compact syntax such as Mo-Sa 08:00-20:00; Su 09:00-18:00. Overpass cannot evaluate them, but a regular expression finds the ones that mention Sunday.

The query

[out:json][timeout:60];
area["name"="Zürich"]["admin_level"="8"]->.a;
nwr["shop"="supermarket"]["opening_hours"~"Su"](area.a);
out center;

Run it

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

How it works

1. ["opening_hours"~"Su"] keeps supermarkets whose opening hours mention “Su”.
2. A value like Su off also matches. Check the results, or exclude it with a second filter: ["opening_hours"!~"Su off"].

Variations

• Places open around the clock: ["opening_hours"="24/7"].
• To evaluate opening hours properly in your app, use a library such as opening_hours.js.

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.
