The Overpass API (formerly known as OSM Server Side Scripting, or OSM3S before 2011) is a read-only API that serves up custom selected parts of the OSM map data. It acts as a database over the web: the client sends a query to the API and gets back the data set that corresponds to the query.

The Overpass API

Overpass QL (short for "Overpass Query Language") is the query language created for the Overpass API. Overpass QL is a  procedural,  imperative programming language written with a  C style syntax.

This wiki page intends to be a complete technical reference to the structure of Overpass QL.
