Extracting address level data from OpenStreetMap

[Raman Arora]

I'm interested in analyzing address level data for specific sub-localities using OpenStreetMaps. 

Some questions that I have

1. Is it available to download a dataset in the form of a CSV file

2. Will it provide me with the associated Lat/Long

3. What is the extent of population of address level information on OpenStreetMaps for cities like Mumbai/Delhi?

Are there any other available sources for India? (Similar to Royal PAF for UK and USPS for the US?)

Hello Raman,

I'd like to suggest that questions related to OpenStreetMap should go
to one of the mailing lists there. Preferably, talk-in
(https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in) or newbies
(https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies)

OpenStreetMap uses several tags to store addresses -
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features#Addresses
I can't think of a single place where you can download a CSV from, but
you can extract it with some effort. For instance, I have just added
this query into Overpass - http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/3o6 (take a look
at the data tab)

Also, there's a project called http://openaddresses.io. They have just
started and it's covering only the US right now. But if you end up
fetching the address data, please consider contributing to
OpenAddresses. I'd be happy to help.

Cheers,
Sajjad.
