In this lecture, you will learn about the most fundamental Pyhton-based OpenStreetMap data collection technique - sending queries to the official Overpass API via the Python wrapper package called Overpy. For the sake of simplicity, we will focus on how to collect node-level data. Additionally, we will explore the types of information stored in the OSM data structure and learn how to transform the raw downloaded data into GeoDataFrames.
