OpenHistoricalMap

[1ec5]

The OpenHistoricalMap project would benefit from this tool too. The API is identical between OSM and OHM; it’s just a different domain and database. Would you be open to extending it to switch between the two APIs? Or would you suggest forking the project and standing up a separate instance? Thanks for your consideration!

[Zaczero]

I want to make the project universal and I am willing to work on the necessary changes. Do you have some communication channel where I could ask for details? Or should I just reach out over the GitHub issues?

[1ec5]

Glad to hear it! We have lots of channels. 😛 Our developers monitor the central issue tracker closely. For discussion with the community, we have a forum with Discourse Chat enabled. Otherwise, feel free to reach out to me over OSM private messages or e-mail.¹

I accidentally configured the service to turn off after 1 hour of runtime. I've fixed the issue, and the service is back up and running.

Thanks for setting this up! Unfortunately, it looks like OHM’s Overpass API endpoint doesn’t like the / at the end of the URL path. For example, this query succeeds, but it fails with an HTTP 403 error if you append a slash. Let me know if that’s a problem and I can poke the devs about it.

Hey please try again now! It should be fixed in b059673 I also think it would be a good idea to fix it on the server too, so it's compatible with the official overpass which accepts both paths: with and without a trailing /.

[1ec5]

Thanks, it worked for changeset 138,526. I opened OpenHistoricalMap/issues#891 to track handling the trailing slash.

ohm-revert still has some references to OSM, such as the page title, “Logging in to OpenStreetMap” in the log, and the link to Pascal Neis’s osm-suspicious tool at the top. It’s just a cosmetic issue, but it had me worried for a moment that I’d be reverting an ancient OSM changeset by accident; maybe others would hesitate to use it for the same reason. Otherwise, I’m ready to add ohm-revert to OHM’s documentation on the wiki and announce it on the forum, once you feel good about the state of things.

[Zaczero]

Yes I am aware of that. Ideally, the project names and links would be configurable too. I simply didn't bother with that now. 👍
