Basic Queries

Click on the tab Basic to select one of a set of predefined standard queries.

You can choose among

• Download the latest changesets - this will query and download the latest changesets submitted to the OSM server. Max. 100 changesets are replied. If you select the checkbox Download my changesets only, only the latest changesets submitted by you are queried.

• Download my open changesets - this will query and download the open changesets owned by you. Max. 100 changesets are replied. This query is disabled if you are using JOSM in anonymous mode, i.e. if you didn't enter an OSM user name and password in the JOSM preferences.

• Download changesets in the current map view - this will query the changesets related to the bounding box in the current Map View. This query is disabled unless there is a current map view, i.e. unless there is at least one layer.

Queries from OSM API URLs

You can also copy a query URL used on the OSM Website to define a changeset query in JOSM. In order to do so, copy and paste the URL in the input field in the tab From URL, see below:

You can paste both URL used to query changesets for browsing and URL used to query changesets in the OSM API. Two examples are provided in the dialog, see the screenshot.

If the URL pasted into the input field represents a valid changeset query, the icon is displayed, otherwise you will see the icon .
