Arbitrary tags to add to the changeset as named parameters (key = "value").

changeset_id

The id of the changeset to update. The user issuing this API call has to be the same that created the changeset.

Functions

• osm_create_changeset(): Open a new changeset for editing.

• osm_update_changeset(): Update the tags of an open changeset.

• osm_close_changeset(): Close a changeset. A changeset may already have been closed without the owner issuing this API call. In this case an error code is returned.

Details

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Changeset for details and the most common changeset's tags.

When updating a changeset, unchanged tags have to be repeated in order to not be deleted.
