hot-dataservice

About

This is a simple webservice that serves extra data for usage with the HOT tasking manager. Basically it just serves data from a configured folder and only returns filtered data:

http://www.domain.com/data/{x}/{y}/{z}/{file}

An example:

http://hotosm.osmsharp.com/data/563/524/10/WRI_CAR_routes_2009.osm

This returns an OSM-XML file filtered to a bounding box represented by the tile with x = 536, y = 524 and zoom = 10. You can include this extra data to load into JOSM by adding some HTML to the Per Task Instructions:

Put here anything that can be useful to users while taking a task. {x}, {y} and {z} will be replaced by the corresponding parameters for each task. For example: « This task involves loading extra data. Click here to load the data into JOSM ».
