osmnx.bearing module#

Calculate graph edge bearings.

osmnx.bearing.add_edge_bearings(G, precision=None)#

Add compass bearing attributes to all graph edges.

Vectorized function to calculate (initial) bearing from origin node to destination node for each edge in a directed, unprojected graph then add these bearings as new edge attributes. Bearing represents angle in degrees (clockwise) between north and the geodesic line from the origin node to the destination node. Ignores self-loop edges as their bearings are undefined.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – unprojected graph

  • precision (int) – deprecated, do not use

Returns:

G – graph with edge bearing attributes

Return type:

networkx.MultiDiGraph

osmnx.bearing.calculate_bearing(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2)#

Calculate the compass bearing(s) between pairs of lat-lon points.

Vectorized function to calculate initial bearings between two points’ coordinates or between arrays of points’ coordinates. Expects coordinates in decimal degrees. Bearing represents the clockwise angle in degrees between north and the geodesic line from (lat1, lon1) to (lat2, lon2).

Parameters:
  • lat1 (float or numpy.array of float) – first point’s latitude coordinate

  • lon1 (float or numpy.array of float) – first point’s longitude coordinate

  • lat2 (float or numpy.array of float) – second point’s latitude coordinate

  • lon2 (float or numpy.array of float) – second point’s longitude coordinate

Returns:

bearing – the bearing(s) in decimal degrees

Return type:

float or numpy.array of float

osmnx.bearing.orientation_entropy(Gu, num_bins=36, min_length=0, weight=None)#

Calculate undirected graph’s orientation entropy.

Orientation entropy is the entropy of its edges’ bidirectional bearings across evenly spaced bins. Ignores self-loop edges as their bearings are undefined.

For more info see: Boeing, G. 2019. “Urban Spatial Order: Street Network Orientation, Configuration, and Entropy.” Applied Network Science, 4 (1), 67. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41109-019-0189-1

Parameters:
  • Gu (networkx.MultiGraph) – undirected, unprojected graph with bearing attributes on each edge

  • num_bins (int) – number of bins; for example, if num_bins=36 is provided, then each bin will represent 10 degrees around the compass

  • min_length (float) – ignore edges with length attributes less than min_length; useful to ignore the noise of many very short edges

  • weight (string) – if not None, weight edges’ bearings by this (non-null) edge attribute. for example, if “length” is provided, this will return 1 bearing observation per meter per street, which could result in a very large bearings array.

Returns:

entropy – the graph’s orientation entropy

Return type:

float

osmnx.bearing.plot_orientation(Gu, num_bins=36, min_length=0, weight=None, ax=None, figsize=(5, 5), area=True, color='#003366', edgecolor='k', linewidth=0.5, alpha=0.7, title=None, title_y=1.05, title_font=None, xtick_font=None)#

Do not use: deprecated.

The plot_orientation function moved to the plot module. Calling it via the bearing module will raise an error starting in the v2.0.0 release.

osmnx.distance module#

Calculate distances and find nearest node/edge(s) to point(s).

osmnx.distance.add_edge_lengths(G, precision=None, edges=None)#

Add length attribute (in meters) to each edge.

Vectorized function to calculate great-circle distance between each edge’s incident nodes. Ensure graph is in unprojected coordinates, and unsimplified to get accurate distances.

Note: this function is run by all the graph.graph_from_x functions automatically to add length attributes to all edges. It calculates edge lengths as the great-circle distance from node u to node v. When OSMnx automatically runs this function upon graph creation, it does it before simplifying the graph: thus it calculates the straight-line lengths of edge segments that are themselves all straight. Only after simplification do edges take on a (potentially) curvilinear geometry. If you wish to calculate edge lengths later, you are calculating straight-line distances which necessarily ignore the curvilinear geometry. You only want to run this function on a graph with all straight edges (such as is the case with an unsimplified graph).

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – unprojected, unsimplified input graph

  • precision (int) – deprecated, do not use

  • edges (tuple) – tuple of (u, v, k) tuples representing subset of edges to add length attributes to. if None, add lengths to all edges.

Returns:

G – graph with edge length attributes

Return type:

networkx.MultiDiGraph

networkx.MultiDiGraph

osmnx.features module#

Download OpenStreetMap geospatial features’ geometries and attributes.

Retrieve points of interest, building footprints, transit lines/stops, or any other map features from OSM, including their geometries and attribute data, then construct a GeoDataFrame of them. You can use this module to query for nodes, ways, and relations (the latter of type “multipolygon” or “boundary” only) by passing a dictionary of desired OSM tags.

For more details, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Elements

Refer to the Getting Started guide for usage limitations.

osmnx.features.features_from_address(address, tags, dist=1000)#

Create GeoDataFrame of OSM features within some distance N, S, E, W of address.

You can use the settings module to retrieve a snapshot of historical OSM data as of a certain date, or to configure the Overpass server timeout, memory allocation, and other custom settings.

For more details, see: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features

Parameters:
  • address (string) – the address to geocode and use as the central point around which to get the features

osmnx.features.features_from_place(query, tags, which_result=None, buffer_dist=None)#

Create GeoDataFrame of OSM features within boundaries of some place(s).

The query must be geocodable and OSM must have polygon boundaries for the geocode result. If OSM does not have a polygon for this place, you can instead get features within it using the features_from_address function, which geocodes the place name to a point and gets the features within some distance of that point.

If OSM does have polygon boundaries for this place but you’re not finding it, try to vary the query string, pass in a structured query dict, or vary the which_result argument to use a different geocode result. If you know the OSM ID of the place, you can retrieve its boundary polygon using the geocode_to_gdf function, then pass it to the features_from_polygon function.

You can use the settings module to retrieve a snapshot of historical OSM data as of a certain date, or to configure the Overpass server timeout, memory allocation, and other custom settings.

Create a GeoDataFrame of OSM features in an OSM-formatted XML file.

Because this function creates a GeoDataFrame of features from an OSM-formatted XML file that has already been downloaded (i.e. no query is made to the Overpass API) the polygon and tags arguments are not required. If they are not supplied to the function, features_from_xml() will return features for all of the tagged elements in the file. If they are supplied they will be used to filter the final GeoDataFrame.

For more details, see: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features

Parameters:
  • filepath (string or pathlib.Path) – path to file containing OSM XML data

  • polygon (shapely.geometry.Polygon) – optional geographic boundary to filter elements

  • tags (dict) – optional dict of tags for filtering elements from the XML. Results returned are the union, not intersection of each individual tag. Each result matches at least one given tag. The dict keys should be OSM tags, (e.g., building, landuse, highway, etc) and the dict values should be either True to retrieve all items with the given tag, or a string to get a single tag-value combination, or a list of strings to get multiple values for the given tag. For example, tags = {‘building’: True} would return all building footprints in the area. tags = {‘amenity’:True, ‘landuse’:[‘retail’,’commercial’], ‘highway’:’bus_stop’} would return all amenities, landuse=retail, landuse=commercial, and highway=bus_stop.

  • encoding (string) – the XML file’s character encoding

Returns:

gdf

Return type:

geopandas.GeoDataFrame

osmnx.geocoder module#

Geocode place names or addresses or retrieve OSM elements by place name or ID.

This module uses the Nominatim API’s “search” and “lookup” endpoints. For more details see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Elements and https://nominatim.org/.

osmnx.geocoder.geocode(query)#

Geocode place names or addresses to (lat, lon) with the Nominatim API.

This geocodes the query via the Nominatim “search” endpoint.

Parameters:

query (string) – the query string to geocode

Returns:

point – the (lat, lon) coordinates returned by the geocoder

Return type:

tuple

osmnx.geocoder.geocode_to_gdf(query, which_result=None, by_osmid=False, buffer_dist=None)#

Retrieve OSM elements by place name or OSM ID with the Nominatim API.

If searching by place name, the query argument can be a string or structured dict, or a list of such strings/dicts to send to the geocoder. This uses the Nominatim “search” endpoint to geocode the place name to the best-matching OSM element, then returns that element and its attribute data.

You can instead query by OSM ID by passing by_osmid=True. This uses the Nominatim “lookup” endpoint to retrieve the OSM element with that ID. In this case, the function treats the query argument as an OSM ID (or list of OSM IDs), which must be prepended with their types: node (N), way (W), or relation (R) in accordance with the Nominatim API format. For example, query=[“R2192363”, “N240109189”, “W427818536”].

If query is a list, then which_result must be either a single value or a list with the same length as query. The queries you provide must be resolvable to elements in the Nominatim database. The resulting GeoDataFrame’s geometry column contains place boundaries if they exist.

Parameters:
  • query (string or dict or list of strings/dicts) – query string(s) or structured dict(s) to geocode

  • which_result (int) – which search result to return. if None, auto-select the first (Multi)Polygon or raise an error if OSM doesn’t return one. to get the top match regardless of geometry type, set which_result=1. ignored if by_osmid=True.

  • by_osmid (bool) – if True, treat query as an OSM ID lookup rather than text search

  • buffer_dist (float) – deprecated, do not use

Returns:

gdf – a GeoDataFrame with one row for each query

Return type:

geopandas.GeoDataFrame

osmnx.graph module#

Return type:

networkx.MultiDiGraph or optionally (networkx.MultiDiGraph, (lat, lon))

Notes

osmnx.graph.graph_from_place(query, network_type='all_private', simplify=True, retain_all=False, truncate_by_edge=False, which_result=None, buffer_dist=None, clean_periphery=None, custom_filter=None)#

Download and create a graph within the boundaries of some place(s).

The query must be geocodable and OSM must have polygon boundaries for the geocode result. If OSM does not have a polygon for this place, you can instead get its street network using the graph_from_address function, which geocodes the place name to a point and gets the network within some distance of that point.

If OSM does have polygon boundaries for this place but you’re not finding it, try to vary the query string, pass in a structured query dict, or vary the which_result argument to use a different geocode result. If you know the OSM ID of the place, you can retrieve its boundary polygon using the geocode_to_gdf function, then pass it to the graph_from_polygon function.

You can use the settings module to retrieve a snapshot of historical OSM data as of a certain date, or to configure the Overpass server timeout, memory allocation, and other custom settings.

Parameters:
  • query (string or dict or list) – the query or queries to geocode to get place boundary polygon(s)

  • network_type (string {"all_private", "all", "bike", "drive", "drive_service", "walk"}) – what type of street network to get if custom_filter is None

  • simplify (bool) – if True, simplify graph topology with the simplify_graph function

  • retain_all (bool) – if True, return the entire graph even if it is not connected. otherwise, retain only the largest weakly connected component.

  • truncate_by_edge (bool) – if True, retain nodes outside boundary polygon if at least one of node’s neighbors is within the polygon

  • which_result (int) – which geocoding result to use. if None, auto-select the first (Multi)Polygon or raise an error if OSM doesn’t return one.

  • buffer_dist (float) – deprecated, do not use

  • clean_periphery (bool) – deprecated, do not use

  • custom_filter (string) – a custom ways filter to be used instead of the network_type presets e.g., ‘[“power”~”line”]’ or ‘[“highway”~”motorway|trunk”]’. Also pass in a network_type that is in settings.bidirectional_network_types if you want graph to be fully bi-directional.

osmnx.graph.graph_from_xml(filepath, bidirectional=False, simplify=True, retain_all=False, encoding='utf-8')#

Create a graph from data in a .osm formatted XML file.

Do not load an XML file generated by OSMnx: this use case is not supported and may not behave as expected. To save/load graphs to/from disk for later use in OSMnx, use the io.save_graphml and io.load_graphml functions instead.

Parameters:
  • filepath (string or pathlib.Path) – path to file containing OSM XML data

  • bidirectional (bool) – if True, create bi-directional edges for one-way streets

  • simplify (bool) – if True, simplify graph topology with the simplify_graph function

  • retain_all (bool) – if True, return the entire graph even if it is not connected. otherwise, retain only the largest weakly connected component.

  • encoding (string) – the XML file’s character encoding

osmnx.io module#

Serialize graphs to/from files on disk.

osmnx.io.load_graphml(filepath=None, graphml_str=None, node_dtypes=None, edge_dtypes=None, graph_dtypes=None)#

Load an OSMnx-saved GraphML file from disk or GraphML string.

This function converts node, edge, and graph-level attributes (serialized as strings) to their appropriate data types. These can be customized as needed by passing in dtypes arguments providing types or custom converter functions. For example, if you want to convert some attribute’s values to bool, consider using the built-in ox.io._convert_bool_string function to properly handle “True”/”False” string literals as True/False booleans: ox.load_graphml(fp, node_dtypes={my_attr: ox.io._convert_bool_string}).

If you manually configured the all_oneway=True setting, you may need to manually specify here that edge oneway attributes should be type str.

Note that you must pass one and only one of filepath or graphml_str. If passing graphml_str, you may need to decode the bytes read from your file before converting to string to pass to this function.

Parameters:
  • filepath (string or pathlib.Path) – path to the GraphML file

  • graphml_str (string) – a valid and decoded string representation of a GraphML file’s contents

  • node_dtypes (dict) – dict of node attribute names:types to convert values’ data types. the type can be a python type or a custom string converter function.

  • edge_dtypes (dict) – dict of edge attribute names:types to convert values’ data types. the type can be a python type or a custom string converter function.

  • graph_dtypes (dict) – dict of graph-level attribute names:types to convert values’ data types. the type can be a python type or a custom string converter function.

Returns:

G

Return type:

Return type:

None

osmnx.io.save_graph_shapefile(G, filepath=None, encoding='utf-8', directed=False)#

Do not use: deprecated. Use the save_graph_geopackage function instead.

The Shapefile format is proprietary and outdated. Instead, use the superior GeoPackage file format via the save_graph_geopackage function. See http://switchfromshapefile.org/ for more information.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

  • filepath (string or pathlib.Path) – path to the shapefiles folder (no file extension). if None, use default data folder + graph_shapefile

  • encoding (string) – the character encoding for the saved files

  • directed (bool) – if False, save one edge for each undirected edge in the graph but retain original oneway and to/from information as edge attributes; if True, save one edge for each directed edge in the graph

osmnx.io.save_graph_xml(data, filepath=None, node_tags=['highway'], node_attrs=['id', 'timestamp', 'uid', 'user', 'version', 'changeset', 'lat', 'lon'], edge_tags=['highway', 'lanes', 'maxspeed', 'name', 'oneway'], edge_attrs=['id', 'timestamp', 'uid', 'user', 'version', 'changeset'], oneway=False, merge_edges=True, edge_tag_aggs=None, api_version=0.6, precision=6)#

Save graph to disk as an OSM-formatted XML .osm file.

This function exists only to allow serialization to the .osm file format for applications that require it, and has constraints to conform to that. As such, this function has a limited use case which does not include saving/loading graphs for subsequent OSMnx analysis. To save/load graphs to/from disk for later use in OSMnx, use the io.save_graphml and io.load_graphml functions instead. To load a graph from a .osm file that you have downloaded or generated elsewhere, use the graph.graph_from_xml function.

Note: for large networks this function can take a long time to run. Before using this function, make sure you configured OSMnx as described in the example below when you created the graph.

Example

>>> import osmnx as ox
>>> utn = ox.settings.useful_tags_node
>>> oxna = ox.settings.osm_xml_node_attrs
>>> oxnt = ox.settings.osm_xml_node_tags
>>> utw = ox.settings.useful_tags_way
>>> oxwa = ox.settings.osm_xml_way_attrs
>>> oxwt = ox.settings.osm_xml_way_tags
>>> utn = list(set(utn + oxna + oxnt))
>>> utw = list(set(utw + oxwa + oxwt))
>>> ox.settings.all_oneway = True
>>> ox.settings.useful_tags_node = utn
>>> ox.settings.useful_tags_way = utw
>>> G = ox.graph_from_place('Piedmont, CA, USA', network_type='drive')
>>> ox.save_graph_xml(G, filepath='./data/graph.osm')
Parameters:
  • data (networkx multi(di)graph OR a length 2 iterable of nodes/edges) – geopandas GeoDataFrames

  • filepath (string or pathlib.Path) – path to the .osm file including extension. if None, use default data folder + graph.osm

  • node_tags (list) – osm node tags to include in output OSM XML

  • node_attrs (list) – osm node attributes to include in output OSM XML

  • edge_tags (list) – osm way tags to include in output OSM XML

  • edge_attrs (list) – osm way attributes to include in output OSM XML

  • oneway (bool) – the default oneway value used to fill this tag where missing

  • merge_edges (bool) – if True merges graph edges such that each OSM way has one entry and one entry only in the OSM XML. Otherwise, every OSM way will have a separate entry for each node pair it contains.

  • edge_tag_aggs (list of length-2 string tuples) – useful only if merge_edges is True, this argument allows the user to specify edge attributes to aggregate such that the merged OSM way entry tags accurately represent the sum total of their component edge attributes. For example, if the user wants the OSM way to have a “length” attribute, the user must specify edge_tag_aggs=[(‘length’, ‘sum’)] in order to tell this method to aggregate the lengths of the individual component edges. Otherwise, the length attribute will simply reflect the length of the first edge associated with the way.

  • api_version (float) – OpenStreetMap API version to write to the XML file header

  • precision (int) – number of decimal places to round latitude and longitude values

Return type:

None

Return type:

None

If to_latlong is True, this projects the GeoDataFrame to the CRS defined by settings.default_crs, otherwise it projects it to the CRS defined by to_crs. If to_crs is None, it projects it to the CRS of an appropriate UTM zone given G’s bounds.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – the graph to be projected

  • to_crs (string or pyproj.CRS) – if None, project to an appropriate UTM zone, otherwise project to this CRS

  • to_latlong (bool) – if True, project to settings.default_crs and ignore to_crs

Returns:

G_proj – the projected graph

Return type:

networkx.MultiDiGraph

osmnx.routing module#

Calculate weighted shortest paths between graph nodes.

osmnx.routing.k_shortest_paths(G, orig, dest, k, weight='length')#

Solve k shortest paths from an origin node to a destination node.

Uses Yen’s algorithm. See also shortest_path to solve just the one shortest path.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

  • orig (int) – origin node ID

  • dest (int) – destination node ID

  • k (int) – number of shortest paths to solve

  • weight (string) – edge attribute to minimize when solving shortest paths. default is edge length in meters.

Yields:

path (list) – a generator of k shortest paths ordered by total weight. each path is a list of node IDs.

osmnx.routing.shortest_path(G, orig, dest, weight='length', cpus=1)#

Solve shortest path from origin node(s) to destination node(s).

Uses Dijkstra’s algorithm. If orig and dest are single node IDs, this will return a list of the nodes constituting the shortest path between them. If orig and dest are lists of node IDs, this will return a list of lists of the nodes constituting the shortest path between each origin-destination pair. If a path cannot be solved, this will return None for that path. You can parallelize solving multiple paths with the cpus parameter, but be careful to not exceed your available RAM.

See also k_shortest_paths to solve multiple shortest paths between a single origin and destination. For additional functionality or different solver algorithms, use NetworkX directly.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

  • orig (int or list) – origin node ID, or a list of origin node IDs

  • dest (int or list) – destination node ID, or a list of destination node IDs

  • weight (string) – edge attribute to minimize when solving shortest path

  • cpus (int) – how many CPU cores to use; if None, use all available

Returns:

path – list of node IDs constituting the shortest path, or, if orig and dest are lists, then a list of path lists

Return type:

list

osmnx.settings module#

Global settings that can be configured by the user.

all_onewaybool

Only use if specifically saving to .osm XML file with the save_graph_xml function. If True, forces all ways to be loaded as oneway ways, preserving the original order of nodes stored in the OSM way XML. This also retains original OSM string values for oneway attribute values, rather than converting them to a True/False bool. Default is False.

bidirectional_network_typeslist

Network types for which a fully bidirectional graph will be created. Default is [“walk”].

cache_folderstring or pathlib.Path

Path to folder in which to save/load HTTP response cache, if the use_cache setting equals True. Default is “./cache”.

cache_only_modebool

If True, download network data from Overpass then raise a CacheOnlyModeInterrupt error for user to catch. This prevents graph building from taking place and instead just saves OSM response data to cache. Useful for sequentially caching lots of raw data (as you can only query Overpass one request at a time) then using the local cache to quickly build many graphs simultaneously with multiprocessing. Default is False.

data_folderstring or pathlib.Path

Path to folder in which to save/load graph files by default. Default is “./data”.

default_accept_languagestring

HTTP header accept-language. Default is “en”.

default_accessstring

Default filter for OSM “access” key. Default is ‘[“access”!~”private”]’. Note that also filtering out “access=no” ways prevents including transit-only bridges (e.g., Tilikum Crossing) from appearing in drivable road network (e.g., ‘[“access”!~”private|no”]’). However, some drivable tollroads have “access=no” plus a “access:conditional” key to clarify when it is accessible, so we can’t filter out all “access=no” ways by default. Best to be permissive here then remove complicated combinations of tags programatically after the full graph is downloaded and constructed.

default_crsstring

Default coordinate reference system to set when creating graphs. Default is “epsg:4326”.

default_refererstring

HTTP header referer. Default is “OSMnx Python package (https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx)”.

default_user_agentstring

HTTP header user-agent. Default is “OSMnx Python package (https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx)”.

doh_url_templatestring

Endpoint to resolve DNS-over-HTTPS if local DNS resolution fails. Set to None to disable DoH, but see downloader._config_dns documentation for caveats. Default is: “https://8.8.8.8/resolve?name={hostname}”

elevation_url_templatestring

Endpoint of the Google Maps Elevation API (or equivalent), containing exactly two parameters: locations and key. Default is: “https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/elevation/json?locations={locations}&key={key}” One example of an alternative equivalent would be Open Topo Data: “https://api.opentopodata.org/v1/aster30m?locations={locations}&key={key}”

imgs_folderstring or pathlib.Path

Path to folder in which to save plotted images by default. Default is “./images”.

log_filebool

If True, save log output to a file in logs_folder. Default is False.

log_consolebool

If True, print log output to the console (terminal window). Default is False.

log_levelint

One of Python’s logger.level constants. Default is logging.INFO.

log_namestring

Name of the logger. Default is “OSMnx”.

logs_folderstring or pathlib.Path

Path to folder in which to save log files. Default is “./logs”.

max_query_area_sizeint

Maximum area for any part of the geometry in meters: any polygon bigger than this will get divided up for multiple queries to the API. Default is 2500000000.

memoryint

Overpass server memory allocation size for the query, in bytes. If None, server will use its default allocation size. Use with caution. Default is None.

nominatim_endpointstring

The base API url to use for Nominatim queries. Default is “https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/”.

nominatim_keystring

Your Nominatim API key, if you are using an API instance that requires one. Default is None.

osm_xml_node_attrslist

Node attributes for saving .osm XML files with save_graph_xml function. Default is [“id”, “timestamp”, “uid”, “user”, “version”, “changeset”, “lat”, “lon”].

osm_xml_node_tagslist

Node tags for saving .osm XML files with save_graph_xml function. Default is [“highway”].

osm_xml_way_attrslist

Edge attributes for saving .osm XML files with save_graph_xml function. Default is [“id”, “timestamp”, “uid”, “user”, “version”, “changeset”].

osm_xml_way_tagslist

Edge tags for for saving .osm XML files with save_graph_xml function. Default is [“highway”, “lanes”, “maxspeed”, “name”, “oneway”].

overpass_endpointstring

The base API url to use for Overpass queries. Default is “https://overpass-api.de/api”.

overpass_rate_limitbool

If True, check the Overpass server status endpoint for how long to pause before making request. Necessary if server uses slot management, but can be set to False if you are running your own overpass instance without rate limiting. Default is True.

overpass_settingsstring

Settings string for Overpass queries. Default is “[out:json][timeout:{timeout}]{maxsize}”. By default, the {timeout} and {maxsize} values are set dynamically by OSMnx when used. To query, for example, historical OSM data as of a certain date: ‘[out:json][timeout:90][date:”2019-10-28T19:20:00Z”]’. Use with caution.

requests_kwargsdict

Optional keyword args to pass to the requests package when connecting to APIs, for example to configure authentication or provide a path to a local certificate file. More info on options such as auth, cert, verify, and proxies can be found in the requests package advanced docs. Default is {}.

timeoutint

The timeout interval in seconds for HTTP requests, and (when applicable) for API to use while running the query. Default is 180.

osmnx.simplification module#

Simplify, correct, and consolidate network topology.

osmnx.simplification.consolidate_intersections(G, tolerance=10, rebuild_graph=True, dead_ends=False, reconnect_edges=True)#

Consolidate intersections comprising clusters of nearby nodes.

Merges nearby nodes and returns either their centroids or a rebuilt graph with consolidated intersections and reconnected edge geometries. The tolerance argument should be adjusted to approximately match street design standards in the specific street network, and you should always use a projected graph to work in meaningful and consistent units like meters. Note the tolerance represents a per-node buffering radius: for example, to consolidate nodes within 10 meters of each other, use tolerance=5.

When rebuild_graph=False, it uses a purely geometrical (and relatively fast) algorithm to identify “geometrically close” nodes, merge them, and return just the merged intersections’ centroids. When rebuild_graph=True, it uses a topological (and slower but more accurate) algorithm to identify “topologically close” nodes, merge them, then rebuild/return the graph. Returned graph’s node IDs represent clusters rather than osmids. Refer to nodes’ osmid_original attributes for original osmids. If multiple nodes were merged together, the osmid_original attribute is a list of merged nodes’ osmids.

Divided roads are often represented by separate centerline edges. The intersection of two divided roads thus creates 4 nodes, representing where each edge intersects a perpendicular edge. These 4 nodes represent a single intersection in the real world. A similar situation occurs with roundabouts and traffic circles. This function consolidates nearby nodes by buffering them to an arbitrary distance, merging overlapping buffers, and taking their centroid.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – a projected graph

  • tolerance (float) – nodes are buffered to this distance (in graph’s geometry’s units) and subsequent overlaps are dissolved into a single node

  • rebuild_graph (bool) – if True, consolidate the nodes topologically, rebuild the graph, and return as networkx.MultiDiGraph. if False, consolidate the nodes geometrically and return the consolidated node points as geopandas.GeoSeries

  • dead_ends (bool) – if False, discard dead-end nodes to return only street-intersection points

  • reconnect_edges (bool) – ignored if rebuild_graph is not True. if True, reconnect edges and their geometries in rebuilt graph to the consolidated nodes and update edge length attributes; if False, returned graph has no edges (which is faster if you just need topologically consolidated intersection counts).

Returns:

if rebuild_graph=True, returns MultiDiGraph with consolidated intersections and reconnected edge geometries. if rebuild_graph=False, returns GeoSeries of shapely Points representing the centroids of street intersections

Return type:

networkx.MultiDiGraph or geopandas.GeoSeries

osmnx.simplification.simplify_graph(G, strict=None, endpoint_attrs=None, remove_rings=True, track_merged=False)#

Simplify a graph’s topology by removing interstitial nodes.

This simplifies graph topology by removing all nodes that are not intersections or dead-ends, by creating an edge directly between the end points that encapsulate them while retaining the full geometry of the original edges, saved as a new geometry attribute on the new edge.

Note that only simplified edges receive a geometry attribute. Some of the resulting consolidated edges may comprise multiple OSM ways, and if so, their multiple attribute values are stored as a list. Optionally, the simplified edges can receive a merged_edges attribute that contains a list of all the (u, v) node pairs that were merged together.

Use the endpoint_attrs parameter to relax simplification strictness. For example, endpoint_attrs=[‘osmid’] will retain every node whose incident edges have different OSM IDs. This lets you keep nodes at elbow two-way intersections (but be aware that sometimes individual blocks have multiple OSM IDs within them too). You could also use this parameter to retain nodes where sidewalks or bike lanes begin/end in the middle of a block.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

  • strict (bool) – deprecated, do not use

  • endpoint_attrs (iterable) – An iterable of edge attribute names for relaxing the strictness of endpoint determination. If not None, a node is an endpoint if its incident edges have different values then each other for any of the edge attributes in endpoint_attrs.

  • remove_rings (bool) – if True, remove isolated self-contained rings that have no endpoints

  • track_merged (bool) – if True, add merged_edges attribute on simplified edges, containing a list of all the (u, v) node pairs that were merged together

Returns:

G – topologically simplified graph, with a new geometry attribute on each simplified edge

Return type:

networkx.MultiDiGraph

osmnx.speed module#

Calculate graph edge speeds and travel times.

osmnx.speed.add_edge_speeds(G, hwy_speeds=None, fallback=None, precision=None, agg=numpy.mean)#

Add edge speeds (km per hour) to graph as new speed_kph edge attributes.

By default, this imputes free-flow travel speeds for all edges via the mean maxspeed value of the edges of each highway type. For highway types in the graph that have no maxspeed value on any edge, it assigns the mean of all maxspeed values in graph.

This default mean-imputation can obviously be imprecise, and the user can override it by passing in hwy_speeds and/or fallback arguments that correspond to local speed limit standards. The user can also specify a different aggregation function (such as the median) to impute missing values from the observed values.

If edge maxspeed attribute has “mph” in it, value will automatically be converted from miles per hour to km per hour. Any other speed units should be manually converted to km per hour prior to running this function, otherwise there could be unexpected results. If “mph” does not appear in the edge’s maxspeed attribute string, then function assumes kph, per OSM guidelines: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features/Units

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

  • hwy_speeds (dict) – dict keys = OSM highway types and values = typical speeds (km per hour) to assign to edges of that highway type for any edges missing speed data. Any edges with highway type not in hwy_speeds will be assigned the mean preexisting speed value of all edges of that highway type.

  • fallback (numeric) – default speed value (km per hour) to assign to edges whose highway type did not appear in hwy_speeds and had no preexisting speed values on any edge

  • precision (int) – deprecated, do not use

  • agg (function) – aggregation function to impute missing values from observed values. the default is numpy.mean, but you might also consider for example numpy.median, numpy.nanmedian, or your own custom function

Returns:

G – graph with speed_kph attributes on all edges

Return type:

networkx.MultiDiGraph

osmnx.speed.add_edge_travel_times(G, precision=None)#

Add edge travel time (seconds) to graph as new travel_time edge attributes.

Calculates free-flow travel time along each edge, based on length and speed_kph attributes. Note: run add_edge_speeds first to generate the speed_kph attribute. All edges must have length and speed_kph attributes and all their values must be non-null.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

  • precision (int) – deprecated, do not use

Returns:

G – graph with travel_time attributes on all edges

Return type:

networkx.MultiDiGraph

osmnx.stats module#

Calculate geometric and topological network measures.

This module defines streets as the edges in an undirected representation of the graph. Using undirected graph edges prevents double-counting bidirectional edges of a two-way street, but may double-count a divided road’s separate centerlines with different end point nodes. If clean_periphery=True when the graph was created (which is the default parameterization), then you will get accurate node degrees (and in turn streets-per-node counts) even at the periphery of the graph.

You can use NetworkX directly for additional topological network measures.

osmnx.stats.basic_stats(G, area=None, clean_int_tol=None)#

Calculate basic descriptive geometric and topological measures of a graph.

Density measures are only calculated if area is provided and clean intersection measures are only calculated if clean_int_tol is provided.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

  • area (float) – if not None, calculate density measures and use this value (in square meters) as the denominator

  • clean_int_tol (float) – if not None, calculate consolidated intersections count (and density, if area is also provided) and use this tolerance value; refer to the simplification.consolidate_intersections function documentation for details

Returns:

osmnx.stats.count_streets_per_node(G, nodes=None)#

Count how many physical street segments connect to each node in a graph.

This function uses an undirected representation of the graph and special handling of self-loops to accurately count physical streets rather than directed edges. Note: this function is automatically run by all the graph.graph_from_x functions prior to truncating the graph to the requested boundaries, to add accurate street_count attributes to each node even if some of its neighbors are outside the requested graph boundaries.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

  • nodes (list) – which node IDs to get counts for. if None, use all graph nodes, otherwise calculate counts only for these node IDs

osmnx.utils_geo.bbox_from_point(point, dist=1000, project_utm=False, return_crs=False)#

Create a bounding box around a (lat, lon) point.

Create a bounding box some distance (in meters) in each direction (north, south, east, and west) from the center point and optionally project it.

Parameters:
  • point (tuple) – the (lat, lon) center point to create the bounding box around

  • dist (int) – bounding box distance in meters from the center point

  • project_utm (bool) – if True, return bounding box as UTM-projected coordinates

  • return_crs (bool) – if True, and project_utm=True, return the projected CRS too

Returns:

bbox or bbox, crs – (north, south, east, west) or ((north, south, east, west), crs)

Return type:

tuple or tuple, crs

osmnx.utils_geo.bbox_to_poly(north=None, south=None, east=None, west=None, bbox=None)#

Convert bounding box coordinates to shapely Polygon.

Parameters:
  • north (float) – deprecated, do not use

  • south (float) – deprecated, do not use

  • east (float) – deprecated, do not use

  • west (float) – deprecated, do not use

  • bbox (tuple of floats) – bounding box as (north, south, east, west)

Return type:

shapely.geometry.Polygon

osmnx.utils_geo.interpolate_points(geom, dist)#

Interpolate evenly spaced points along a LineString.

The spacing is approximate because the LineString’s length may not be evenly divisible by it.

Parameters:
  • geom (shapely.geometry.LineString) – a LineString geometry

  • dist (float) – spacing distance between interpolated points, in same units as geom. smaller values accordingly generate more points.

Yields:

points (generator) – tuples of (x, y) floats of the interpolated points’ coordinates

osmnx.utils_geo.round_geometry_coords(geom, precision)#

Do not use: deprecated.

Parameters:
  • geom (shapely.geometry.geometry {Point, MultiPoint, LineString, MultiLineString, Polygon, MultiPolygon}) – deprecated, do not use

  • precision (int) – deprecated, do not use

Return type:

shapely.geometry.geometry

osmnx.utils_geo.sample_points(G, n)#

Randomly sample points constrained to a spatial graph.

This generates a graph-constrained uniform random sample of points. Unlike typical spatially uniform random sampling, this method accounts for the graph’s geometry. And unlike equal-length edge segmenting, this method guarantees uniform randomness.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiGraph) – graph from which to sample points. should be undirected (to avoid oversampling bidirectional edges) and projected (for accurate point interpolation)

  • n (int) – how many points to sample

Returns:

points – the sampled points, multi-indexed by (u, v, key) of the edge from which each point was drawn

Return type:

geopandas.GeoSeries

osmnx.utils_graph module#

Graph utility functions.

osmnx.utils_graph.get_digraph(G, weight='length')#

Convert MultiDiGraph to DiGraph.

Chooses between parallel edges by minimizing weight attribute value. Note: see also get_undirected to convert MultiDiGraph to MultiGraph.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

  • weight (string) – attribute value to minimize when choosing between parallel edges

Return type:

networkx.DiGraph

osmnx.utils_graph.get_largest_component(G, strongly=False)#

Get subgraph of G’s largest weakly/strongly connected component.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

  • strongly (bool) – if True, return the largest strongly instead of weakly connected component

Returns:

G – the largest connected component subgraph of the original graph

Return type:

networkx.MultiDiGraph

osmnx.utils_graph.get_route_edge_attributes(G, route, attribute=None, minimize_key='length', retrieve_default=None)#

Do not use: deprecated.

Use the route_to_gdf function instead.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – deprecated

  • route (list) – deprecated

  • attribute (string) – deprecated

  • minimize_key (string) – deprecated

  • retrieve_default (Callable[Tuple[Any, Any], Any]) – deprecated

Returns:

attribute_values – deprecated

Return type:

list

osmnx.utils_graph.get_undirected(G)#

Convert MultiDiGraph to undirected MultiGraph.

Maintains parallel edges only if their geometries differ. Note: see also get_digraph to convert MultiDiGraph to DiGraph.

Parameters:

G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

Return type:

networkx.MultiGraph

osmnx.utils_graph.graph_from_gdfs(gdf_nodes, gdf_edges, graph_attrs=None)#

Convert node and edge GeoDataFrames to a MultiDiGraph.

This function is the inverse of graph_to_gdfs and is designed to work in conjunction with it.

However, you can convert arbitrary node and edge GeoDataFrames as long as 1) gdf_nodes is uniquely indexed by osmid, 2) gdf_nodes contains x and y coordinate columns representing node geometries, 3) gdf_edges is uniquely multi-indexed by u, v, key (following normal MultiDiGraph structure). This allows you to load any node/edge shapefiles or GeoPackage layers as GeoDataFrames then convert them to a MultiDiGraph for graph analysis. Note that any geometry attribute on gdf_nodes is discarded since x and y provide the necessary node geometry information instead.

Parameters:
  • gdf_nodes (geopandas.GeoDataFrame) – GeoDataFrame of graph nodes uniquely indexed by osmid

  • gdf_edges (geopandas.GeoDataFrame) – GeoDataFrame of graph edges uniquely multi-indexed by u, v, key

  • graph_attrs (dict) – the new G.graph attribute dict. if None, use crs from gdf_edges as the only graph-level attribute (gdf_edges must have crs attribute set)

Returns:

G

Return type:

networkx.MultiDiGraph

osmnx.utils_graph.graph_to_gdfs(G, nodes=True, edges=True, node_geometry=True, fill_edge_geometry=True)#

Convert a MultiDiGraph to node and/or edge GeoDataFrames.

This function is the inverse of graph_from_gdfs.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

  • nodes (bool) – if True, convert graph nodes to a GeoDataFrame and return it

  • edges (bool) – if True, convert graph edges to a GeoDataFrame and return it

  • node_geometry (bool) – if True, create a geometry column from node x and y attributes

  • fill_edge_geometry (bool) – if True, fill in missing edge geometry fields using nodes u and v

Returns:

gdf_nodes or gdf_edges or tuple of (gdf_nodes, gdf_edges). gdf_nodes is indexed by osmid and gdf_edges is multi-indexed by u, v, key following normal MultiDiGraph structure.

Return type:

geopandas.GeoDataFrame or tuple

osmnx.utils_graph.remove_isolated_nodes(G)#

osmnx.utils_graph.route_to_gdf(G, route, weight='length')#

Return a GeoDataFrame of the edges in a path, in order.

Parameters:
  • G (networkx.MultiDiGraph) – input graph

  • route (list) – list of node IDs constituting the path

  • weight (string) – if there are parallel edges between two nodes, choose lowest weight

Returns:

gdf_edges – GeoDataFrame of the edges

Return type:

geopandas.GeoDataFrame
