Used by the Data Working Group to hide old versions of elements containing data privacy or copyright infringements. Only permitted for OSM accounts with the moderator role (DWG and server admins).

Usage

osm_redaction_object(
  osm_type = c("node", "way", "relation"),
  osm_id,
  version,
  redaction_id
)

Arguments

osm_type

Object type ("node", "way" or "relation").

osm_id

Object id represented by a numeric or a character value.

version

Version of the object to redact.

redaction_id

If missing, then this is an unredact operation. If a redaction ID was specified, then set this element to be redacted in that redaction.

Value

Nothing is returned upon successful redaction or unredaction of an object.

Details

The redaction_id is listed on https://www.openstreetmap.org/redactions. More information can be found in the source.
