OpenStreetMap Listing Scraper
The OpenStreetMap Listing Scraper exports OSM search results to CSV without code. Add keyword-location search URLs such as Library in New York, US or Restaurant in London, UK, run the workflow, and collect the search keyword, visible result title, OpenStreetMap result link, and error status in a local desktop app.

Export OpenStreetMap results from keyword searches
Turns searches into a review list
Use the template when you need to scrape OpenStreetMap listings for categories, cities, or service areas before deciding which POIs deserve deeper enrichment.
Loops through keyword-location URLs
The Navigate block accepts multiple OSM search URLs. Each run waits for the page, checks the sidebar, exports rows, sleeps briefly, and continues to the next input.
Creates one append-friendly CSV
Search results from all configured URLs land in the same file with headers, so analysts can filter by keyword and deduplicate result links in Excel, Sheets, or BI tools.
Keeps the workflow local
The run happens in the UScraper local desktop app. Your URL list and exported CSV stay in the folder you choose unless you move or sync them yourself.
Who uses it
Built for POI discovery, local research, and QA

Favorable to scraping
Build a lightweight OpenStreetMap to CSV inventory before investing time in richer detail-page exports, Overpass filters, or manual map review.

Input preparation
Favorable to scraping
Use listing results as a reviewed input queue for the OpenStreetMap POI detail scraper when you need coordinates, address tags, and contact fields later.
How it works
Navigate, wait, export, and loop
The JSON graph is intentionally small: Navigate opens each keyword search URL, Wait for Page Load lets the map page settle, Wait for Element confirms that node, way, or relation links appeared in the sidebar, Structured Export writes the configured columns, Sleep provides pacing, and Loop Continue advances to the next URL.
1
Download and import
Import the hosted JSON template into UScraper from the OpenStreetMap listing scraper download.
2
Edit the search URLs
Replace the starter searches with reviewed OpenStreetMap URLs for your categories and locations, such as libraries, restaurants, schools, or stores.
3
Confirm the save location
The Structured Export block writes openstreetmap-listing-scraper.csv with headers enabled and append mode on.
4
Run a short test batch
Let UScraper navigate, wait for sidebar results, export listing anchors, pause for one second, and continue through the multi-URL loop.
5
Open the CSV
Review titles and URLs, remove duplicates, then send selected links into downstream enrichment, outreach, QA, or mapping workflows.

Frequently asked questions
OpenStreetMap data is open data, but automated access still has license, attribution, service-policy, robots, and local-law obligations. Keep runs modest, respect technical safeguards, preserve source context, and get legal review before publishing or reselling derived datasets.
Before you run
Practical limitations and maintenance
Guardrails for reliable OSM listing exports
Pacing
Avoid treating public OSM pages as bulk infrastructure
Run measured batches, keep the included pause, and avoid parallel unattended jobs. For heavy extraction, use reviewed OSM data workflows or your own infrastructure.
Layout
Sidebar selectors can drift
The workflow waits for OpenStreetMap sidebar links that start with /node/, /way/, or /relation/. If exports become empty after an OSM layout change, update the wait and row selectors before scaling again.
Compliance
Review OSM policies and attribution needs
Check OpenStreetMap robots guidance, the Nominatim usage policy if geocoding is part of your process, and ODbL attribution requirements before redistribution.
