NAME

       pyosmium-get-changes - Download OSM change files

USAGE

       Fetch diffs from an OSM planet server.

       The starting point of the diff must be given either as a sequence ID or a date or can be computed from an
       OSM  file.  If  no output file is given, the program will just print the initial sequence ID it would use
       (or save it in a file, if requested) and exit. This can be used to bootstrap the update process.

       The program tries to download until the latest change on the server is found  or  the  maximum  requested
       diff size is reached. Note that diffs are kept in memory during download.

       On  success,  the  program  will  print  a single number to stdout, the sequence number where to continue
       updates in the next run. This output can also be written to (and later read from) a file.

       usage: pyosmium-get-changes [options]

       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       -v     Increase verbosity

       -o <outfile>, --outfile <outfile>
              Name of diff output file. If omitted, only the sequence ID will be  printed  where  updates  would
              start.

       --server <server_url>
              Base URL of the replication server

       -s <outsize>, --size <outsize>
              Maximum data to load in MB (default: 100MB).

       -I <id>, --start-id <id>
              Sequence ID to start with

       -D <date>, --start-date <date>
              Date when to start updates

       -O <osmfile>, --start-osm-data <osmfile>
              start at the date of the newest OSM object in the file

       -f <seq_file>, --sequence-file <seq_file>
              Sequence  file. If the file exists, then updates will start after the id given in the file. At the
              end of the process, the last sequence ID contained in the diff is written.

       --ignore-osmosis-headers
              When determining the start from an OSM file,  ignore  potential  replication  information  in  the
              header and search for the newest OSM object.

       -d, --no-deduplicate
              Do not deduplicate and sort diffs.
