Element → Get History
AI-generatedSummary
Retrieve the version history for an OpenStreetMap node, way, or relation by its ID. The operation sends a GET request to the OSM API and returns the response as one n8n item.
Inputs
- Element Type — Select node, way, or relation; defaults to node.
- ID (required) — ID of the OSM element whose history to retrieve.
- Additional Options — The UI offers Language, Limit, and Safe Update options, but this operation does not read or apply them.
Output shape
A single item containing the API response in its json field for each input item.
The request uses the OpenStreetMap production API at /api/0.6/{elementType}/{id}/history.json. Errors are thrown unless Continue On Fail is enabled, in which case an item with an error field is returned.
