OpenstreetMap Overpass API - Validate tag if present

Question

I have this query

[out:json];

(
 way['addr:street'='Kurzenmoor']['addr:housenumber'='12']['addr:postcode'='25370']['addr:country'='DE'];
 node(around:700)['highway'='bus_stop'][!'ref'];
);

out;

This does not return a result due to the fact that the country has not been specified at the API.

This works:

[out:json];

(
 way['addr:street'='Kurzenmoor']['addr:housenumber'='12']['addr:postcode'='25370'];
 node(around:700)['highway'='bus_stop'][!'ref'];
);


out;

Is there a way to combine these? If there is no country present, I want the result, if there is a country present it should match the desired one (in this example "DE", if it matches, I want the result, otherwise I do not want it.

Answer 1

Overpass API is not a geocoder.

A better approach is to first determine the location via geocoding, eg by using Nominatim , Photon or one of the other OSM-based geocoders . In the second step use Overpass API to find bus stops near this location.
