OpenGeofiction
Hi all,
This is my first diary post, but it’s more like a question.. I would have posted it on the forum, but I can’t figure out how to log into that. It seems to be connected to a wiki account which I do not have either and am unsure how to get.
In the OSM world I use a tool called ‘whodidit’ which shows you recent edits for an area in a useful and clear grid cell representation. You can even generate an RSS feed so you can set up something to notify you when someone edits in an area easily.
I didn’t find a version of this tool for OGF. Technically it would be easy enough to install but I don’t know if the endpoints required are available in the OGF world. Specifically whodidit queries https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changeset/ and https://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/hour. Does OGF mimic this aspect of OSM infrastructure, allowing tools like this to be adapted to work in the OGF world?

You can definitely look at changesets this way:

I can’t speak to the replication data question. I don’t think OGF is configured in quite the same way (though I could be wrong - Thilo is the creator and technical maintainer of OGF).
What we do have is daily planet backups, which I frequently download and manipulate using e.g. osmconvert and osmosis tools.

Ah, thanks for the insight. Looking at the /backups directory led me to the replication diffs which are located here:
https://opengeofiction.net/backup/replicate/– so this should definitely be possible. Let me tinker a bit and see.Comment from ales on 20 February 2019 at 20:11
smart you are with your ¨whodidit¨ tool
