Element → Create Node
AI-generatedSummary
Creates an OpenStreetMap node at the supplied latitude and longitude, with optional tags, in the specified changeset. It sends an authenticated write request to the OpenStreetMap API and returns the API response.
Inputs
- Latitude (required) — Node latitude in WGS84 coordinates, from -90 to 90.
- Longitude (required) — Node longitude in WGS84 coordinates, from -180 to 180.
- Element Type — Must be Node; selecting Way or Relation causes the operation to fail.
- Changeset ID (required) — ID of the changeset to associate with the new node.
- Tags — JSON object of OSM tags. Empty by default; blank tag keys and null or undefined values are discarded, and remaining keys and values are trimmed (values are converted to strings).
Output shape
A single n8n item containing the OpenStreetMap API response as JSON.
The node validates coordinate ranges and parses the Tags value as JSON. The create request uses OAuth2 when the optional OpenStreetMap credentials are configured; errors are thrown unless Continue On Fail is enabled, in which case an item with an error field is returned.
