The #OvertureMaps also contain #OSM building parts now, as ready to use geometries. But not only, also geometries of AI sources are included. No roof shapes, but it may be interesting anyway to inspect their data. There is no Web API to get small regions. There is a #RustLang crate to read the GeoParquet format they use.

Do you use #Overture ? Do you know the URL to get the files? Could you provide a Rust code example? If yes, I would add it to the inputs of "OBI"

Pro tip for overturemaps building footprint downloads: While the official data download can be tricky, explore.overturemaps.org is a handy alternative (though limited to zoom 15). Need to check multiple areas? Here's a QGIS field calculator hack:

'https://explore.overturemaps.org/#15/' || to_string(y(centroid($geometry)), 5) || '/' || to_string(x(centroid($geometry)), 5)

This generates clickable URLs for each grid cell! 🗺️ #QGIS #OpenData #overturemaps
