Steps Build an Overpass QL query filtering nwr[amenity=parking] within a bounding box or around a point Send the query as a raw POST body to an Overpass API endpoint (e.g., overpass-api.de/api/interpreter) Set an appropriate [out:json] output format and [timeout:N] to bound long-running queries Parse returned tags such as parking (surface/multi-storey/underground), capacity, fee, and access to characterize each facility Prototype and debug queries interactively in Overpass Turbo before embedding them in production code Known gotchas Overpass instances enforce query timeouts and rate limits; large-area or unbounded queries commonly get killed server-side OSM tagging is crowdsourced and inconsistent - capacity and fee tags are frequently missing even when the parking tag itself is present Public Overpass instances are shared infrastructure with no SLA; production use should run a self-hosted instance or add a caching layer
