Summary

Fetches an OpenStreetMap element by its type and ID from the production API and returns the API response as one n8n item.

Inputs

  • Element Type — Select Node, Way, or Relation; defaults to Node.
  • ID (required) — The ID of the element to fetch.
  • Additional Options — The UI offers Language, Limit, and Safe Update options, but this operation does not read or use them.

Output shape

A single item containing the API response in its json field for each input item.

The operation makes an unauthenticated GET request to the OpenStreetMap production API at /api/0.6/{elementType}/{id}.json. Request failures are raised as node API errors; with Continue On Fail enabled, an error item is returned for the corresponding input.
