Overpass API developpement

[Michael Larsen <>]

Hi,

Last time I tried consuming augmented diffs on a minutely basis, I hit the 
load-limitations which meant that I could not consume augmented diffs for 
some 
time afterwards, i.e. this will lead to black holes in your history.

Also, using timestamp start/end to fetch diffs for a given timestamp (like 
avachi) is problematic with some changesets that stay open for > 1 hours 
(this 
happens quite ofter). The live service running on osm.expandable.dk use the 
API as described previously to get the augmented diff for a changeset. If 
there where a better way I'm all ears!

Regards,
MichaelVL
