Can't pull map.js from cartagen.org

[jrbaldwin]

Tried to select a sample of map data by using the rectangle selector,
but the link:

http://cartagen.org/api/0.6/map.json?bbox=-74.0202751,40.66994310380285,-73.9975151,40.68397343931536

seems to be 404'd. So, without installing a Cartagen server, how can I
obtain the JSON for that area?

Hi, jonathan - thanks for filing an issue (https://github.com/jywarren/cartagen/issues/103)

I'm writing back in that issue, which will be the new home of this conversation (i keep linking back to old Google Groups threads, which is a mess). 

Please respond in the Github issue (above); for convenience, i'm pasting the content into this email too. Apologies for the hassle.

Jeff

-------------------------

As of the forking of MapKnitter from Cartagen, I no longer operate a full planet server at http://cartagen.org. I'm really sorry but it was too much effort on my end; the planet is over 700gb and it takes a lot of CPU and bandwidth to do it.

This means your options are:

• install your own planet server
• convince the OSM devs to pull in some of my modifications to the OSM rails port (https://github.com/jywarren/openstreetmap-website), which probably means writing some tests for them
• write a GeoJSON or GeoRSS parser (based on the NEWSFLOW code) so we can end-run around this limitation
• hit the OSM API for XML data and convert it following these suggestions:
  • https://github.com/hay/xml2json - python based
  • someone could write a web-based XML->JSON parser and run it as a service so you can download OSM-XML and convert it online
