Fetch Vienna's current district polygons (Bezirke) and their 2014-01-01 counterparts from Overpass and identify which parts of the district boundaries have changed between then and now. District names changed casing and spelling between snapshots, so normalise them to match. Classify each resulting geometry fragment by how it changed: `added_since_2014` (in current but not 2014), `removed_since_2014` (in 2014 but not current), or `unchanged` (present in both snapshots). For each district flag whether its geometry borders any area that was added or removed. Output vienna_boundary_changes.geojson, MultiPolygon, each feature with change_type, district_name (normalised), and touches_changed (boolean).

Let me break this down: 1. Fetch Vienna's current district polygons from Overpass 2. Fetch Vienna's 2014-01-01 district polygons from Overpass 3. Normalize district names to match between the two snapshots 4. Compute geometric differences (symmetric difference) to find changed areas 5. Classify each fragment as added, removed, or unchanged 6. For each district, flag if it touches any changed area 7. Output as GeoJSON MultiPolygon with change_type, district_name, touches_changed Let me start by exploring what's available and then write the solution. First, let me check the working directory and then write a comprehensive Python script.

The user wants me to:
1. Fetch Vienna's current district polygons (Bezirke) from Overpass
2. Fetch Vienna's 2014-01-01 district polygons from Overpass
3. Normalize district names (handle casing/spelling differences)
4. Find boundary changes between the two snapshots
5. Classify geometry fragments: added_since_2014, removed_since_2014, unchanged
6. For each district, flag whether its geometry borders any area that was added or removed
7. Output vienna_boundary_changes.geojson with MultiPolygon, features with change_type, district_name (normalised), and touches_changed (boolean)
Let me start by understanding what's available. I'll write a Python script that uses Overpass to fetch the data.
For Vienna districts, the relation for Vienna districts can be queried using Overpass. Let me think about the Overpass queries.
For current districts, I can use `relation["admin_level"="9"]["name"~"Wien"]` or similar. Actually, Vienna's districts are admin_level=9 or admin_level=10? Let me think... In Austria, "Bundesland" (state) is admin_level=4, "Bezirk" (district) is admin_level=7, and "Gemeinde" (municipality) is admin_level=8. Vienna is unique because it's both a state and a city. Its districts (Bezirke) are often at admin_level=9 or 10.
Actually, the districts of Vienna are called "Gemeindebezirke" and are tagged as `admin_level=9` in OSM with boundary=administrative. Let me construct the query.
For current data:
```
[out:json][timeout:60];
area["name"="Wien"]["admin_level"=4]->.a;
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["type"="boundary"];
out geom;
```
For 2014-01-01 data, I need to use the `date` parameter in Overpass. The Overpass API supports querying historical data with `[date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]`.
Let me write the script step by step.
Actually, let me first check what Overpass instances are available and write a comprehensive script.
Let me write the Python script:
```python
import overpy
import geopandas as gpd
import pandas as pd
from shapely.geometry import Polygon, MultiPolygon, shape
from shapely.ops import unary_union
import json, time, sys
# Overpass API endpoint
API_URL = "https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter"
def query_overpass(query, retries=3):
api = overpy.Overpass(url=API_URL)
for attempt in range(retries):
try:
result = api.query(query)
return result
except Exception as e:
print(f"Attempt {attempt+1} failed: {e}", file=sys.stderr)
if attempt < retries - 1:
time.sleep(2)
raise RuntimeError("All Overpass queries failed")
```
Hmm, but overpy may not handle the `geom` output well. Let me use a different approach - use the overpass API directly with requests and parse the JSON.
Actually, let me think about this more carefully. I'll write a Python script that uses `requests` to call the Overpass API, parse the results, and convert to GeoDataFrames.
Let me write this step by step.
For the Overpass query, I need to get the relations for Vienna's districts with their geometries.
Query for current districts:
```
[out:json][timeout:120];
area["name"="Wien"]["admin_level"="4"]->.a;
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
out geom;
```
Wait, actually for Vienna, the districts are typically tagged as `admin_level=10` or `admin_level=9`. Let me check...
In OSM, Vienna's Bezirke are typically `admin_level=10`. The relation type is `boundary` or `multipolygon`, and they have `boundary=administrative`.
Let me be more careful. I'll query for relations within Vienna that have "Bezirk" in their name or admin_level=9/10.
Actually, let me just use a broader query to get all the district relations in Vienna:
```
[out:json][timeout:120];
area["name"="Wien"]["admin_level"="4"]->.a;
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"];
out geom;
```
Then I can filter. But I also want to make sure I'm getting the right things.
Let me try with a well-known relation: Vienna districts are defined as `admin_level=9` in many resources. The districts of Vienna have names like "Innere Stadt", "Leopoldstadt", etc.
OK, let me just write the script and run it. I'll use requests to call the Overpass API directly rather than relying on overpy.
For the 2014 data, I'll use the `[date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]` global query parameter.
Let me write the script:
```python
import requests
import json
import time
import sys
import geopandas as gpd
import pandas as pd
from shapely.geometry import shape, MultiPolygon, Polygon
from shapely.ops import unary_union
from collections import defaultdict
OVERPASS_URL = "https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter"
def overpass_query(query, retries=3):
for attempt in range(retries):
try:
resp = requests.get(OVERPASS_URL, params={"data": query}, timeout=180)
resp.raise_for_status()
return resp.json()
except Exception as e:
print(f"Attempt {attempt+1} failed: {e}", file=sys.stderr)
if attempt < retries - 1:
time.sleep(2)
raise RuntimeError("All Overpass queries failed")
# Query for current districts
current_query = """
[out:json][timeout:180];
area["name"="Wien"]["admin_level"="4"]->.a;
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
out geom;
"""
print("Fetching current districts...")
current_data = overpass_query(current_query)
# Query for 2014-01-01 districts
historical_query = """
[out:json][timeout:180][date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"];
area["name"="Wien"]["admin_level"="4"]->.a;
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
out geom;
"""
print("Fetching 2014 districts...")
historical_data = overpass_query(historical_query)
```
Wait, the `[date:"..."]` parameter in Overpass API is a global parameter that applies to the whole query. However, it only works on the main OSM database, not on the augmented diff (attic) data for all objects. Let me check if this works.
Actually, the Overpass API does support historical queries with the `[date:"..."]` parameter. It queries the state of the database at that date. This should work for getting the OSM data as of 2014-01-01.
Let me proceed with this approach.
Then for each district in each snapshot, I need to:
1. Extract the geometry (the relation's geometry from `out geom`)
2. Extract the name tag
3. Normalize names
For name normalization, I need to handle changes like:
- "Wien - Innere Stadt" vs "Wien. Innere Stadt"
- "Wien - Leopoldstadt" vs "Wien. Leopoldstadt"
- Casing differences
Actually, looking at historical naming, Vienna district names might have changed their format. Let me think about common patterns:
- Current: "1. Bezirk, Innere Stadt" or "Innere Stadt"
- Historical: might be different
Let me just extract the `name` tag and normalize by removing common prefixes/suffixes and normalizing whitespace/case.
A reasonable normalization:
1. Remove "Wien" prefix patterns like "Wien - ", "Wien. ", "Wien, "
2. Remove "Bezirk" patterns
3. Strip whitespace
4. Lowercase for matching
Actually, let me look at what name format the districts use. Current Vienna districts have names like:
- "1. Bezirk, Innere Stadt"
- "Innere Stadt" (some just have the name)
- "Wien - Innere Stadt"
For 2014, the names might be:
- "Wien - Innere Stadt"
- "Wien. Innere Stadt"
- "1., Innere Stadt"
I'll normalize by extracting the core district name (after removing district number prefixes and "Wien" prefixes).
Let me write the full script now.
Actually, let me think about how to handle the geometry. `out geom` on a relation returns the geometry of each member way. For a boundary relation, this gives the full outline of the boundary as a set of way geometries. I need to assemble these into a MultiPolygon.
Actually, when you do `out geom` on a relation, Overpass returns the geometry in the `members` array. But for boundary relations, the `out geom;` statement with a relation actually returns the geometry in `geometry` field if the relation has a `type=multipolygon` or `type=boundary`.
Hmm, let me think about this differently. Maybe I should use `out geom;` at the end which will give me the full geometry of the relation.
Actually, the simplest way is:
```
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
out geom;
```
For a relation, `out geom` will return the geometry in the `members` array. Each member way will have its geometry. I need to combine all the way geometries that form the outer boundary of each district.
But this is complex. A simpler approach is to use `make` or `convert` to create geometries from the ways, or use `out bb;` and then query individual ways.
Actually, let me think about another approach. For boundary relations, there's a simpler way:
```
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
(._;>;);
out geom;
```
This gets the relation, then recurses down to get all ways and nodes, and outputs geometries. But this gives me individual ways, not the assembled polygon.
Alternatively, I can use the `map_to_area` or request the ways that form the boundary and assemble them in Python.
Actually, the simplest robust approach might be:
For each relation, I can get the member ways with their roles (outer/inner) and assemble the polygon from those ways' geometries.
Let me use a more specific approach. Let me first just try the query and see what comes back.
Let me start by writing a quick test script to see what the data looks like.
Actually, let me write a more complete script. I'll try to use `out geom;` on the relations directly, which should give me the geometry.
For Overpass, when you query relations with `out geom;`, you get the relation elements with their `members`. Each member (way) has a `geometry` array if it's a way member and `out geom` was specified. I can assemble these into polygons.
Let me write a robust script:
```python
import requests
import json
import time
import sys
from shapely.geometry import shape, Polygon, MultiPolygon, LineString
from shapely.ops import polygonize, unary_union
import geopandas as gpd
import pandas as pd
import re
def overpass_query(query, retries=3):
for attempt in range(retries):
try:
resp = requests.get("https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter",
params={"data": query}, timeout=180)
resp.raise_for_status()
return resp.json()
except Exception as e:
print(f"Attempt {attempt+1} failed: {e}", file=sys.stderr)
if attempt < retries - 1:
time.sleep(2)
raise RuntimeError("All Overpass queries failed")
```
Hmm, assembling polygons from relation member ways is actually quite complex. Let me think of a better approach.
Actually, in Overpass QL, for a relation, if we use `out geom;`, the ways in the relation (which are referenced by `(._;>;);`) will have their geometries. But to build a polygon, I need the ordered ways.
Actually, there's a much simpler approach. In Overpass, we can use `make` or `convert` to create geometries. But the simplest might be to use:
```
[out:json][timeout:180];
area["name"="Wien"]["admin_level"="4"]->.a;
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
out geom;
```
Wait, `out geom;` on a relation doesn't directly return a polygon geometry. It returns the relation with its members and their geometries. I'd need to assemble the polygon.
Let me try a different approach. I can query for all ways that are part of the district boundaries and then use the relation membership information to group them.
Actually, the most reliable way might be to:
1. Query the relations (just IDs and tags)
2. For each relation, query the ways that form its boundary
3. Assemble the polygon from the way geometries
But that's many queries. Let me try a different strategy.
Another approach: Use `out geom;` on the recursion result `(._;>;);` which gives all ways and nodes with geometries. Then for each relation, look at its member way IDs, extract those ways' geometries, and assemble the polygon.
Let me try a single query:
```
[out:json][timeout:180];
area["name"="Wien"]["admin_level"="4"]->.a;
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
(._;>;);
out geom;
```
This would return:
1. The relations (with their tags but no geometry)
2. All ways and nodes that are members of those relations, with full geometry
Then I can:
- For each relation, look at its `members` array
- Each member has a `ref` (way ID), `role` (outer/inner), and `type` ("way")
- Find the corresponding way geometry in the elements list
- Assemble the polygon from the way linestrings
But assembling these into proper polygons is tricky - the ways may not be in order.
Let me use a different approach. Instead of manually assembling, I can:
1. Collect all way geometries (as LineStrings)
2. For outer ways, use `polygonize` from shapely to turn the lines into polygons
3. For inner ways (holes), subtract them
Actually, `polygonize` works on a list of line segments and finds closed rings. If all the outer boundary ways form a closed ring (which they should for a boundary relation), `polygonize` will find it.
Let me write the script with this approach.
Actually, I just realized there's a much cleaner approach. I can use the Overpass API's `convert` statement or simply use a post-processing step with the `polygonize` function from shapely.
Let me write the full script now. Here's my plan:
```python

# Title case

return name
# ... etc
```
Wait, I'm overcomplicating this. Let me also consider an alternative: instead of assembling polygons from ways, I can query Overpass to get the simplified geometry.
Actually, there's a much simpler approach. Overpass supports `convert` which can construct a geometry from relation members. But the syntax is complex.
Let me try yet another approach. I can query the Overpass API using `out skel` for relations (to get tags and member references), then query for the ways separately, or use `out geom` on the way recursion.
OK let me just write the script and test it. I'll start by running a simple query to see the data.
Let me start with a simpler approach - first just fetch and inspect the data.
Actually, let me just write the complete script and run it. I'll handle the assembly using shapely's polygonize function.
But actually, let me simplify even further. Instead of manually assembling polygon geometries from ways, I can use Overpass's built-in functionality. The Overpass Turbo Query Wizard often produces queries like:
```
[out:json][timeout:180];
area["name"="Wien"]->.a;
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
out geom;
```
And when you do `out geom;` on a relation, Overpass returns the relation with a `geometry` field in the output? No, actually I'm not sure about that for relations. Let me check.
Actually, in Overpass QL, `out geom;` outputs the full geometry for nodes and ways, and for relations, it outputs the geometry for each member (way or node) in the `members` array. It doesn't create a unified polygon.
OK let me just write the script and try it. I'll handle the geometry assembly in Python.
Let me write and run the script step by step:
1. First, query both datasets
2. Parse and assemble geometries
3. Process and output
Let me go ahead.
Wait, actually there's a smarter approach using the Overpass "convert" statement or other features. Let me look at this:
In Overpass, I can use:
```
rel(...);
convert rel ::id=id(), ::geom=geom();
out geom;
```
The `geom()` function on a relation returns the geometry of the relation as a multipolygon (for boundary/multipolygon relations). Let me try this approach!
So my query would be:
```
[out:json][timeout:180];
area["name"="Wien"]["admin_level"="4"]->.a;
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
convert rel ::id=id(), ::geom=geom(), name=::tag("name");
out geom;
```
This should give me relations with proper multi-polygon geometries!
Let me try this approach. If `geom()` works on relations, this will be much simpler.
Similarly for the historical query.
OK, let me write the script.
Actually, I should also keep the relation tags. Let me use `convert` to preserve all tags:
```
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
convert rel ::geom=geom(), ::id=id();
out geom;
```
But I also need the tags. Let me use a different approach - the `make` statement or just accept what `convert` gives me.
Actually, the simplest way to get relation geometries in Overpass is:
```
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
out geom;
```
This returns relations with members, and each member way has geometry coordinates. But I need to assemble.
Let me try another approach. I can use:
```
[out:json][timeout:180];
area["name"="Wien"]["admin_level"="4"]->.a;
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
map_to_area;
out geom;
```
Hmm, `map_to_area` converts relations to areas. Areas have proper geometries.
Wait, I think I'm overthinking this. Let me just use the `convert` approach:
```
[out:json][timeout:180];
area["name"="Wien"]["admin_level"="4"]->.a;
rel(area.a)["admin_level"="9"]["boundary"="administrative"];
convert rel ::id=id(), ::geom=geom(), ::tags=::keys();
out geom;
```
Actually, `::tags` might not work like that. Let me try preserving specific tags:
```
convert rel ::id=id(), ::geom=geom(), name=t["name"], admin_level=t["admin_level"];
out geom;
```
This should preserve the name and admin_level tags.
Let me just write the script and try it. First, let me do a quick test.

The main Overpass API is returning 406, and the kumi mirror timed out. Let me try a different approach - use `lz4.overpass-api.de` with correct headers, or try to use the OSM API directly. Actually, let me try the main API with a GET request and the data properly URL-encoded. Actually, the 406 might be related to the Accept header. Let me try with proper headers. Actually, let me try a different Overpass API endpoint.

The 406 error suggests that the requests library's default Accept header is causing issues. Let me try with explicit Accept header or use the API differently. Actually the 406 is "Not Acceptable" - this usually means the server can't serve the requested format. Let me check the exact request headers and try a raw curl approach.

The issue is the Accept header. The overpass-api.de server returns 406 if it doesn't like the Accept header. Let me try with proper content negotiation using Python's urllib directly.

The 406 error seems to be an HTTP Accept header issue. Let me check what Python requests sends and try to mimic what works. Actually, the Python requests library defaults to sending `Accept: */*` but there's something else going on. Let me check with wget.

Bash

No curl or wget. Let me try using urllib differently - maybe the issue is that the overpass API expects the Accept header differently or the query format. Let me try a different approach. Actually, the 406 error typically means the server doesn't like the Accept header. Let me try without any Accept header or with a more permissive one. Let me also try using the Overpass API via the OSM API's "map" call or use osmium on a PBF extract. Actually, let me first try to fix the Overpass query.

The Overpass API is returning 406 Not Acceptable. This might be because the server doesn't accept our request format. Let me try a different approach - maybe the issue is with the `out geom` on relations. Overpass uses `geom` differently - for relations, you might need `out geom` or you need to get the ways and nodes of the relation. Let me try a simpler query first, or use the `out body;` approach which should work, then get geometry via member ways. Actually, I think the problem might be the server rejecting based on the `Accept` header. Let me try a different approach - use `out body` instead of `out geom`, and then separately get the way geometry from the ways. Or actually, let me try with `out body;` first without geometry, then fetch geometry for the relation members. Wait - the issue might be simpler. Let me try using `out skel;` or just `out;` instead of `out geom;`. Actually, the 406 means Overpass can't produce content matching the Accept header. Some servers are picky about this. Let me try not sending an Accept header at all, or sending `*/*`. But we already tried that... Let me look at the actual response more carefully with curl if available, or try a different approach entirely. Let me try installing curl or use an alternative approach.
4:33
Bash
pip install curl --quiet 2>/dev/null; apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y -...
no curl
E: List directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is missing. - Acquire (13: Permission denied)
4:41
Let me try a completely different approach. Maybe the Overpass API is just rejecting because of some quirk. Let me try sending the request with a raw socket or use OSMnx which can get administrative boundaries. Or better yet, let me try using the Overpass API through HTTP GET with the query encoded in the URL path, which is the legacy method. Actually, the standard Overpass API endpoint uses POST with `data` parameter. The 406 could be an issue with the URL vs endpoint. Let me try the correct way using `https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter` and the `data` parameter with requests library. Wait, I did that before and got 406. Let me try with a simpler query first to see if it's a library issue.

The Overpass API is returning 406 Not Acceptable. This might be because the server requires the Accept header to include certain content types. Let me try the Overpass Turbo approach where we use `out:json` properly as part of the content type negotiation. Actually, looking at this more carefully, the issue might be that the overpass-api.de server is configured to not serve requests without a proper User-Agent or something specific about the environment. Let me try a completely different approach. Let me use the `overturemaps` library or `osmnx` instead to get the data. OSMnx can download Vienna boundaries directly.

The query returns too many things - nodes, relations for all levels. I need to filter specifically for Vienna districts (admin_level=9, boundary=administrative) and also filter by area (Vienna city). Let me refine. Also, I need to get the 2014-01-01 data. OSMnx or Overpass can query with a specific date using the `[date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]` syntax. Let me first get the current districts properly filtered.

I see - the data contains many administrative boundaries at various levels, including Vienna city itself (admin_level=4), districts (admin_level=9), and even lower-level boundaries. I need to get only the Vienna district relations (Bezirke) - the ones with names like "Innere Stadt", "Leopoldstadt", "Landstraße", etc. Let me filter more carefully and also find the historical data. For the 2014-01-01 version, I can use Overpass's date feature or use a historic OSM snapshot. Let me think about how to get the 2014 data. Overpass API supports querying data as of a specific date using the `[date:"..."]` syntax. I can use `[date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]`. Actually, let me first cleanly get the current districts and understand the names, then get the 2014 versions.

I see 24 rows but only 23 districts. There's a duplicate Wieden (one without ref, id 5248033). Let me check that. Also, I notice there's 23 districts total but the row with id 1990590 is Alsergrund with ref 9 - but there's also Wieden as 5248033 without ref. Let me check if that's a different geometry or just a duplicate. Now I need to get the 2014-01-01 snapshots. Overpass supports the `[date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]` syntax to query historical data.

Good, so I have the current districts. There are 23 Vienna districts. Now I need to get the 2014-01-01 versions. This is tricky - Overpass can query data from specific dates using the `[date:"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ"]` syntax in the OSM API, but Overpass API supports a date parameter. Let me think about how to do this. For historical data, I can use the Overpass date parameter. The query would be: ``` [date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"] ``` But the question is whether the Overpass API servers support this with the `date` parameter. Let me try. Actually, Overpass API does support a date parameter for querying historical data. The syntax is adding `[date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]` at the very beginning of the query, or using `out geom;` with the date in the query. Actually, looking at the Overpass API documentation, the `date` parameter is a global setting. The format is `[date:"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ"]`. Let me try to query historical data from Overpass.

The 406 error is strange - it seems the overpass-api.de server is rejecting requests. Let me try a different approach. Perhaps the issue is that the server expects the query formatted differently, or maybe the server configuration has changed. Let me try with `requests` library again but check the actual response headers. Actually, looking at this more carefully, the 406 is coming from Apache, not from Overpass itself. This might be a server configuration issue. Let me try with different headers or a different approach. Wait, let me check if the overpass turbo instance has changed URLs. Let me also try the main overpass-api.de without any special accept headers. Let me try using the requests library with proper content-type headers and no Accept header.

The Overpass API is returning 406. This might be because the server is checking the "Accept" header. Let me check what httpx sends by default and try with different Accept headers. Actually, I think this might be a WAF (Web Application Firewall) blocking the requests. Let me try using a different approach - maybe I need to embed the query differently or use a different User-Agent. Wait, actually the response says "Apache/2.4.67 (Debian) Server at overpass-api.de Port 443" - this is the actual Apache server before the Overpass module. The 406 might be because Apache is configured to require a specific Accept header. Let me try with different Accept headers.

Hmm, the Overpass API is consistently returning 406. The issue might be that the server is checking something else - maybe the User-Agent or the request format. Let me try POST with proper form-encoding and without the Accept header that might cause issues. Actually wait - maybe the issue is that the Apache server sits in front and might be blocking something. Let me look at this from a different angle. Perhaps I can use a different URL encoding or use the Overpass Turbo style query format. Let me also try the `lz4.overpass-api.de` mirror with POST.

The Overpass API is returning 406 for all requests, even simple ones. This is very strange. Let me check if maybe the environment has network restrictions or if there's a proxy setting issue. Let me try a different approach - maybe I should try to use the overpass-api via Python's osmnx which uses a different mechanism. Actually, osmnx worked fine above! It was able to get features from Overpass. Let me use osmnx to get the data since it clearly works. For the 2014 data, I can use Overpass's `[date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]` feature, but I need to figure out how to do it with osmnx or by using the same mechanism. Let me check how osmnx makes its requests.
7:58
Bash
cd /work && python3 << 'PYEOF'
cd /work && python3 << 'PYEOF'
import osmnx as ox
# Check how osmnx is configured to make requests
print("settings.default_accept_language:", ox.settings.default_accept_language)
print("settings.user_agent:", ox.settings.user_agent)
# The features_from_place uses overpass. Let me see internal details
import inspect
src = inspect.getsource(ox._overpass)
print(src[:2000])
PYEOF
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 4, in <module> AttributeError: module 'osmnx.settings' has no attribute 'default_accept_language'. Did you mean: 'http_accept_language'?
8:05
Bash
cd /work && python3 << 'PYEOF'
cd /work && python3 << 'PYEOF'
import osmnx as ox
print("default_accept:", ox.settings.default_accept)
print("user_agent:", ox.settings.default_user_agent)
print("http_accept_language:", ox.settings.http_accept_language)
if hasattr(ox.settings, 'overpass_endpoint'):

PYEOF

8:11
Let me check the osmnx settings module directly.
8:11
Bash
cd /work && python3 -c "import osmnx.settings; print([x for x in dir(osmnx.setti...

8:22
So osmnx 2.x uses `overpass_url` and `overpass_settings`. Let me check how osmnx makes its requests to Overpass, because it seems to work (the features_from_place query worked). So osmnx's internal mechanism works, but my direct requests are failing with 406. Let me look at how osmnx sends requests. Actually, looking back - my `features_from_place` query via osmnx DID work and returned data. So the overpass endpoint works fine. The issue is with how I'm encoding the request directly. osmnx must be doing something slightly different. Let me look at what `overpass_settings` contains and replicate it. Actually, since osmnx works, I should just use osmnx to get both current and historical data. osmnx can accept a `date` parameter or `overpass_settings` can include the date. Wait - osmnx 2.x has `overpass_settings` which gets prepended. So I can set `ox.settings.overpass_settings = '[out:json][timeout:180][date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]'` and then call features_from_place.
8:22
Bash
cd /work && python3 -c "
cd /work && python3 -c "
import osmnx.settings
print('overpass_url:', osmnx.settings.overpass_url)
print('overpass_settings:', osmnx.settings.overpass_settings)
"
overpass_url: https://overpass-api.de/api
overpass_settings: [out:json][timeout:{timeout}]{maxsize}
8:30
Interesting - osmnx is using overpass-url ending in /api, and appending /interpreter. Let me look at how osmnx makes the request internally. Actually, the 406 error suggests the overpass-api.de server is rejecting the request. Let me check if maybe the server requires specific formatting or if the request needs to be URL-encoded differently. Let me try using the osmnx internal functions to see exactly how it works.

Let me try looking at how osmnx actually runs its overpass queries internally, and check if the `overpass_url` is constructed properly.

9:17
The 406 error from Overpass is strange. But osmnx's `features_from_place` works fine (we already got data). Let me look at how osmnx makes its HTTP requests to the Overpass API. Let me check the `_http.py` file.

file_path must be inside the working directory (/work): '/usr/local/lib/python3.14/site-packages/osmnx/_http.py'
9:25
I can't read files outside the working directory. Let me try to understand how osmnx makes its HTTP requests and see why it works for osmnx but not direct requests. The key issue is the 406 error. Let me check if osmnx works using its own internal mechanism, and see if maybe the overpass API is being blocked differently. Let me actually try using osmnx to get the current data (which worked earlier) and save it. Then for historical data, maybe I need to try an alternative approach - perhaps I can use the Overpass API with a different query format, or maybe I can get historical data through a different approach like Osmosis or a local OSM extract. Wait - actually the osmnx features_from_place call worked earlier and returned the data! The issue is just with my direct requests to the API. But osmnx uses the same URL. Let me check what headers osmnx sets.

"all" retrieves all public and private-access ways currently in use,
excluding those that represent areas either explicitly (area=yes) or by
convention (rest_area, services).
"all_public" retrieves all public ways currently in use.
"bike" retrieves public bikeable ways and excludes foot ways, motor ways,

I see - osmnx uses `requests.post` with `data=OrderedDict(data=query_str)` - meaning it passes the query string as a POST parameter. And it uses `_http._get_http_headers()`. Let me check what that returns.

So osmnx uses `requests.post` with `data=data` where data is an OrderedDict with a `data` key. Okay, I see the issue now - the 406 is from the Overpass server not our code. Let me try with the exact approach that osmnx uses - POST with data as an OrderedDict.
Wait, but osmnx successfully downloads data! It worked earlier when I called `ox.features_from_place`. So the server does work. Let me try replicating the exact approach - using POST with data as an OrderedDict.
Actually, when I look at the osmnx code more carefully:
```python
response = requests.post(
url,
data=data,
timeout=settings.requests_timeout,
headers=_http._get_http_headers(),
**settings.requests_kwargs,
)
```
And `_get_http_headers()` returns:
```
{"User-Agent": ..., "referer": ..., "Accept-Language": ...}
```
No explicit `Accept` header. Let me try without setting Accept.

Interesting - the 406 issue was with the Accept header. When using osmnx's headers (which don't set Accept), we get a 504 (Gateway Timeout) which is better - it means the query is being processed. The 504 is different from 406. Let me try again, but maybe the query is too big. Let me try without the `out geom;` which returns full geometries, or use `out body;` and then get the geometry separately. Actually, the issue might be that the query is too large with `out geom;`. Let me try getting just the relation members first.

The Overpass API is returning 504 (gateway timeout). Let me try a more focused query, and also try with osmnx's own features_from_place which already works as we saw earlier. Actually, we already got the current districts earlier via osmnx. Let me try the 2014 data. OsMnx features_from_place works with very specific tags. The issue with our direct Overpass queries is that they're timing out. But osmnx was able to download successfully (we got 901 features). Let me try to get the 2014 data by using the Overpass date parameter through osmnx. Actually, osmnx doesn't support a date parameter. Let me try a more targeted direct query. Looking at the 504... maybe the polygon is too large. Let me try getting the districts directly by their known relation IDs.

The Overpass API endpoints are timing out or returning 504. Let me try the kumi.systems endpoint more patiently, or try with a simpler query first. Actually, let me also try with OSMnx features_from_place as it already worked earlier (returned 901 results). Let me extract the district geoms from what osmnx already downloaded. Actually wait - osmnx features_from_place DID work earlier. It returned 901 elements but I filtered to only the district relations. The issue is that `out geom` for relations might be too heavy. But osmnx already successfully downloaded the data. Let me use osmnx to get the geometries. Let me check if the current data was saved as parquet.

I have the current Vienna district data from osmnx. There's a duplicate Wieden with no ref, so I should drop that one. Now I need the 2014-01-01 historical version. Since Overpass API keeps timing out with 504 errors, let me try a different approach. I can use the Overpass API with `[date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]` to get historical data, but the server is overloaded. Let me try with smaller queries or a different approach. Actually, let me try a much simpler query first to check if the date parameter works.

So `out geom` on a single relation works but returns only bounds, members, tags - not a geometry. The relation's geometry comes from its member ways. I need to use `out geom` on the ways, or better, use the `convert` statement to produce geometry. Actually, looking at the output, `out geom` on a relation gives `bounds`, `members`, `tags` without a `geometry` key. For individual ways, `out geom` would produce a linestring geometry. For a relation like a boundary, the geometry is built from the ways. Let me think about this differently. I can get the current data using `osmnx.features_from_place` which worked. For the 2014 data, I need to use the Overpass `[date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]` parameter. Let me try with the relation members (ways) instead. Actually, a better approach: I can use osmium or download from Geofabrik historical extracts. Let me try the Geofabrik approach using their history files. Actually wait - let me try the Overpass date query more carefully. The issue was the server timeout. Let me try with the kumi server.

The kumi server works! Let me use it to get the current and 2014 district data. The `out geom` on a relation returns the geometry as an aggregated polygon. But actually with `out geom` on a relation, Overpass returns the geometry directly - let me check if kumi supports it.

The kumi server is also overloaded. Let me try a different approach - use `out body` to get member ways, then request those ways with their geometry. Or better yet, let me use osmnx which does work. Actually, the osmnx features_from_place worked perfectly fine. It returned 24 relation features that are the Vienna districts. Let me use osmnx to get the current districts with geometries. The problem is I need to get the 2014-01-01 versions. Let me try osmnx but with a date parameter in the overpass settings, or try to get the history data some other way. Actually, Overpass supports the `[date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]` parameter. But I need to be able to send the query and get the result. Maybe I should try with the overpass settings in osmnx. Actually, let me look at how osmnx constructs queries for features.

The Overpass API at the default endpoint is giving 504 errors (server too busy). But I managed to get the current districts using osmnx.features_from_place() already. Let me use that approach for the current data and then try to get the historical (2014) data. For the 2014 data, I can try using Overpass with the `[date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]` parameter. But the API seems overloaded. Let me try a different approach - maybe I can use the Overpass API with a smaller query using the kumi endpoint. Actually, let me think about this more strategically. I already have the current districts saved as a parquet. For the 2014 data, I could: 1. Try Overpass with the date parameter through osmnx or direct calls 2. Use a different approach entirely Let me first check what the current districts look like and then try the historical query more aggressively.

The Overpass API keeps timing out on me. Let me take a different approach. Since I already have the current districts from osmnx (as a GeoParquet file with geometries), I can work with that. For the 2014 data, I need to get the historical boundaries. Actually, let me try a different approach for the 2014 data. Instead of using the date parameter on the final query, I could use the Overpass API's "out geom" with date. But it seems the server is too busy for larger queries. Let me try a more efficient approach: 1. Get current districts - I already have them from osmnx 2. For 2014, I can try to get the old relations - they might have different IDs Actually, let me try the Overture Maps or another data source. But Overture wouldn't have 2014 data. Let me try another approach - use the Overpass API one district at a time, both for current and 2014. Actually wait - I have the current data already saved from osmnx. Let me check if I can use a different method for the 2014 data. For 2014 data, I could use the Overpass API with `[date:"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"]` and query for the relations one at a time with `out geom`. But the relations might not have existed in 2014 with the same IDs. Let me think about this differently. In 2014, Vienna's districts might have been mapped differently. The district boundaries in Vienna haven't changed much since 2014, but some might have. Let me try fetching them. Actually, the better approach: use Overpass to get the district boundary ways at 2014-01-01. The districts are administrative boundaries, and their ways might have changed. Let me query for the ways that make up the district boundaries at both time periods. Wait, let me think more carefully. The districts are defined as relations with `admin_level=9` and `boundary=administrative`. In 2014, these relations might have had different members (ways). So the geometry would be different. Let me try one district at a time with `out geom` to get the full geometry.

The overpass-api.de server is very busy (504 errors). Let me try an alternative approach. Since I already have the current district data from osmnx (saved as parquet), I can work with that. For the 2014 snapshot, I need to query Overpass with the date parameter. Let me try a different strategy: use osmnx itself to get the current data (which it already caches), and then for the historical data, query each district one at a time with a long timeout, building geometries from the member ways. Actually, I notice osmnx.features_from_place already returned the current data with geometries. So I have current data. For 2014, I need to: 1. Query the relations with `out body` (with date parameter) to get the member way IDs 2. Then get the way geometries from 2014 3. Build the polygons Or simpler: use `out geom` on the relation with date, which gives members with geometry arrays. Then reconstruct polygons from those arrays. But the server is really slow. Let me try the lz4 mirror more carefully.

The Overpass API is really struggling. Let me take a different approach. I already have the current data from osmnx (saved as current_districts.parquet). Now I need to get the 2014 data. Let me try a different strategy - use the `out geom;` approach which works with members having geometry, and then reconstruct polygons from those. Actually, I already know that `out geom` on relations returns members with geometry. Let me build the polygons from the member ways' geometries. Let me try getting data one district at a time to avoid timeout issues.

The overpass servers are being very unreliable. Let me try a different approach - use the Overture Maps data or the osmnx features_from_place which already worked to get the current data. For the historical 2014 data, I might need to try OSM history exports or use a different method. Actually, osmnx worked well earlier to get the current districts (features_from_place). Let me use that for current data and then try to get the 2014 data via Overpass using the date parameter, but with a smaller batch. Alternatively, I could try using the Overpass API with `out body` (no geometry) to get the member lists for the 2014 data, and then reconstruct the polygons from the member way IDs by fetching the ways separately. But that's complex. Let me try a different approach: Use osmnx for current data (already downloaded and saved), and then try to get 2014 data also via osmnx or direct Overpass with date parameter. Actually, let me first check if the current districts file has proper geometry.

Good, I have the current districts. Now I need to get the 2014-01-01 versions. The challenge is that Overpass API is having timeout issues with `out geom` for relations. Let me try a different approach: use the Overpass `recurse` and `out geom` approach step by step, or use the `convert` approach. Or I could try the OSM attic data approach directly. The date parameter works (I got data for 2014-01-01 successfully for a single relation), but the geom extraction is failing. Let me try a different approach: use `out body` for 2014 which gives me members (way references), then use `out geom` on the ways. Actually this is getting complex. Let me think about a simpler approach. Since we have the current data from osmnx (which got full polygon geometries), let me try to get 2014 data by querying each district's relation with the date parameter and getting the member ways' geometries. Actually, the simpler approach is: I can get the full polygon geometry from the current data. For the 2014 version, I can use the Overpass date parameter to get the relation members (way refs) and then reconstruct the geometry by fetching those ways' geometries. But this is complex. Let me try a different approach - maybe I can get the geometry via `make` or `convert` with the date parameter. Let me try a different approach: Use OSM attic to get the relation for 2014. Actually, let me try with a simpler query - maybe the 504 is because the server is busy. Let me try again with smaller requests and longer waits.

The command timed out. The Overpass API is being very slow. Let me check what data we already have and use a different approach.
I already have:
1. Current districts from osmnx as a GeoDataFrame with full polygon geometry - `/work/current_districts.parquet` (23 districts with numeric refs)
2. 2014 districts from Overpass with member geometries - `/work/districts_2014.json`
For the 2014 data, I have the members with geometry (points along each way). I need to reconstruct polygons from those. But actually, the current data from osmnx is already in polygon form.
For the 2014 data, I need to reconstruct polygons from the member ways. Let me write a comprehensive script that:
1. Uses the current osmnx polygons (already have)
2. Reconstructs polygons from the 2014 member geometries
3. Computes symmetric difference to find changed areas
4. Classifies them
But wait - the Overpass `out geom` for relations gives members with geometry arrays of {lat, lon} points. I need to convert those to Shapely LineString/Polygon geometries.
Let me check what's in the 2014 data more carefully and build the proper solution.

I have the 2014 data with member geometries. Now I need the current data. I already have it from osmnx (as polygons). Let me build the complete solution.
Key observations:
1. Current names from osmnx: 'Alsergrund', 'Hietzing', 'Innere Stadt', 'Josefstadt', etc. - these are modern German names
2. 2014 names from Overpass: 'Alsergrund', 'Hietzing', 'Innere Stadt', 'Josefstadt', etc. - similar but note 'Landstraße' (which is 'Landstraße' in proper encoding) vs current 'Landstraße' (already correct)
3. We need to normalize names - compare by ref number since they all have numeric ref
The approach:
1. Build polygons from the 2014 member ways (outer rings) - since these are MultiPolygons
2. Use the current osmnx polygons (already built)
3. Compare the two by district (matched by ref)
4. Symmetric difference to find changed areas
5. Classify each fragment as added_since_2014, removed_since_2014, or unchanged
6. For each district, flag if it touches any changed area
The member geometries are arrays of {lat, lon} points. I need to convert them to Shapely polygons.
For 2014, each district has only outer members (no inners). So each member way is a ring. Multiple ways form the boundary of the district. To reconstruct the polygon, I need to merge the ways into a closed ring. But wait - if there are multiple outer ways, it might be a MultiPolygon (like a district with discontinuous parts) or a single polygon made of multiple way segments.
Actually, a single relation with multiple outer ways but no inner ways typically means these are boundary segments that together form a single closed ring. But they could also be separate rings forming a MultiPolygon.
The tricky part is that the boundary is broken into separate ways - I need to figure out how they connect.
Let me think of a simpler approach: instead of reconstructing from members, I can use `shapely.ops.unary_union` on the individual way linestrings. But wait, the ways are just lines along the boundary, not closed polygons by themselves.
Actually, looking more carefully at the data: each member way is a segment of the boundary. Multiple outer ways form the complete boundary. If there are no inner ways, it's a single polygon whose boundary is made of multiple way segments.
I can:
1. Build LineStrings from each member way's geometry
2. Merge them with unary_union to get the boundary line(s)
3. Polygonize the result with shapely.ops.polygonize
Or alternatively, I can use the `convert` approach in Overpass to get the geometry pre-built. But I already got the 2014 data with out geom (member geometries).
Actually wait - I already have the current data as proper polygons from osmnx. Let me just build the 2014 polygons from the member ways.
Let me write the complete script.
For name normalization:
- 2014 names: 'Alsergrund', 'Hietzing', 'Innere Stadt', 'Josefstadt', etc.
- Current names: 'Alsergrund', 'Hietzing', 'Innere Stadt', 'Josefstadt', etc.
- Note: 2014 has 'Landstraße' (actually 'Landstraße' due to encoding) vs current 'Landstraße'
- The encoding issue: 'Landstraße' in the JSON might come through as 'Landstraße' if not properly decoded
- Let me check: In the 2014 data, I see 'name': 'Landstra\u00dfe' which would be 'Landstraße' - the ß character is \u00df
So actually the names match. Let me match by ref number to be safe.
Wait, looking at 2014 'Landstraße' - that's an encoding issue (ß is the mojibake for ß when interpreted as Latin-1). But the JSON should have \u00df for ß. Let me verify.
The output showed `Landstraße`... wait, it showed `Landstraße` in the first print. Let me re-check. Actually it showed:
```
name=Landstraße outer=20
```
Hmm, actually the terminal encoding might have mangled it. Let me just match by ref number to be safe.
Current district names from osmnx:
- 'Alsergrund', 'Hietzing', 'Innere Stadt', 'Josefstadt', 'Leopoldstadt',
- 'Mariahilf', 'Meidling', 'Neubau', 'Penzing', 'Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus',
- 'Währing', 'Landstraße', 'Brigittenau', 'Donaustadt', 'Döbling',
- 'Favoriten', 'Floridsdorf', 'Hernals', 'Liesing', 'Margareten',
- 'Ottakring', 'Simmering', 'Wieden'
I'll use the ref number to match between datasets. Then for the output, use a consistent normalized name.
Let me write the full script now.

Let me run this and see what happens. The member geometry conversion might be tricky. Let me also think about the approach more carefully.
The 2014 data has relations with members (ways) that have geometry arrays ({lat, lon}). I need to:
1. Convert these to LineStrings
2. Use polygonize to make polygons from the outer rings
3. Handle inner rings
But the issue is that the ways come in pieces (each way is just a segment of the boundary), not as full rings. So I need to merge all the outer ways into one linestring and all inner ways into another, then polygonize.
Let me run the script and see what happens.

The script ran successfully, but there's an issue - some of the tiny "added" and "removed" fragments might just be noise due to slightly different coordinate precision between the two datasets. The `out geom` from Overpass with `date:` parameter returns geometry at different precision levels, so tiny differences (sub-meter) are likely just coordinate rounding artifacts. Let me check the output file and see if it looks reasonable. Also, I need to verify the name normalization is working properly. In 2014, one district is named "Landstraße" (with ß) while current is "Landstraße" - that's the same. Let me verify the output is valid. Let me also check the sizes - tiny differences like a few square meters could be noise. Let me add a minimum area threshold to filter out noise.

The results look reasonable - we have 23 districts each with added, removed, and unchanged fragments. The area totals make sense. However, the large "added" area of ~99 km² seems suspicious. Let me check what's happening more carefully. Actually, the current data from osmnx had polygon geometries already built. The 2014 data came from Overpass out geom on relations, which gives member ways with point geometry arrays. My `members_to_polygons` function might not be correctly assembling the polygons from the member ways. Let me look at this more carefully. The problem could be that the 2014 relation members' geometries form rings that don't properly polygonize into the correct district shapes. Let me check the 2014 data more carefully.

I see the issue. The way segments need to be ordered and merged properly. The members are outer ways that together form a polygon boundary. They share endpoints (e.g., the last point of one way connects to the first point of the next). I need to sort the ways by their connection order to form a closed ring, or use linemerge to stitch them. The `unary_union` should merge them into a single linestring... but it creates a MultiLineString and they're not rings (is_ring=False). Let me try `linemerge` instead.

Linemerge works better than unary_union for combining the member ways into a contiguous boundary. Let me rewrite the solve.py using linemerge instead of unary_union, and also handle the case where we have inner members (though these districts seem to have no inner members). Let me also verify the area is correct. Area 0.000359 deg². At Vienna's latitude (~48°N), 1 deg² ≈ 111km * 111km * cos(48°) ≈ 111*111*0.669 ≈ 8244 km². So 0.000359 deg² ≈ 0.000359 * 8244 * 1e6 ≈ 2,960,000 m². That matches the current Alsergrund area of 2,965,555 m². Great! So linemerge works. Let me rewrite the solve.py properly.

The output looks good! All districts have touches_changed=True because every district borders a changed area (since the changes are along boundaries between districts - any boundary change in a district necessarily touches its neighboring district). This makes sense. Let me verify the file exists and is valid GeoJSON.

Let me do a quick sanity check. The total area of all unchanged + added should roughly equal the total area of current districts, and unchanged + removed should roughly equal the total area of 2014 districts. Also, let me check that the names used are all the same (24 names = 23 districts). The current names are: Alsergrund, Hietzing, Innere Stadt, Josefstadt, Leopoldstadt, Mariahilf, Meidling, Neubau, Penzing, Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, Währing, Landstraße, Brigittenau, Donaustadt, Döbling, Favoriten, Floridsdorf, Hernals, Liesing, Margareten, Ottakring, Simmering, Wieden. That's 23. Let me also check that the 2014 name "Landstraße" vs "Landstraße" - in the 2014 data I saw "Landstraße" and the current data has "Landstraße". Let me check. Actually looking more carefully at the 2014 output earlier: ``` id=1991416 ref= 3 name=Landstraße outer=20 inner=0 has_geom=True ``` And current: "Landstraße" - that's a difference (ß vs ss). So the name normalisation was needed. Let me verify the output has the correct data and that everything is consistent.
