Edward Betts 53aab8c4bc Add web optional dependency and update docs

Flask is now declared under [project.optional-dependencies] as the
`web` extra, so `pip install osm-geojson[web]` installs both the CLI
and Flask. The `dev` extra includes Flask too so the test/dev venv
gets everything. Update README and AGENTS.md accordingly.

Project overview

A collection of Python tools for working with OpenStreetMap public transport data. Includes a CLI tool and a Flask web frontend with a JSON API.

osm_geojson is the top-level namespace for all tools in this collection. Each tool lives in its own subpackage (e.g. osm_geojson.pt), with its CLI entry point registered in pyproject.toml under [project.scripts].

Code conventions

Python 3.11+
CLI via Click
HTTP via Requests
Web frontend via Flask 3.x
Parse XML with lxml if needed; prefer the OSM JSON API where possible
Errors go to stderr; data output goes to stdout (CLI)
GeoJSON output uses ensure_ascii=False
All modules, functions, and test functions must have docstrings
Library code (core.py) raises OsmError instead of calling sys.exit(); the CLI and Flask views catch OsmError and handle it appropriately

OSM API

Tools fetch data from the public OSM API:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/

No authentication is required for read-only access. Include a descriptive User-Agent header in all requests.

Web frontend API endpoints

Endpoint	Description
`GET /api/route/<id>`	Full route GeoJSON, stop list, and sibling routes
`GET /api/segment/<id>?from=NAME&to=NAME[&stops=0]`	Segment between two named stops
`GET /api/route_master/<id>`	All member routes of a route_master
`GET /docs`	API documentation page

All API responses are JSON. Errors return {"error": "<code>", "message": "<text>"}.

Running the web frontend

cd web
flask --app app.py run

Install the package with the web extra to include Flask:

pip install -e ".[web]"

Type checking

All code uses type hints. Run mypy in strict mode to check:

mypy --strict src/osm_geojson/

Testing

Run the test suite with:

pytest tests/

Tests use the responses library to mock HTTP calls and never hit the live OSM API. Fixture data is stored in tests/fixtures/ as saved API responses.

Example relations used during development

ID	Description
15083963	M11 Istanbul Metro (subway, direction 1)
15083964	M11 Istanbul Metro (subway, direction 2)
15083966	M11 Istanbul Metro (route_master)
18892969	Bus A1: Bristol Airport → Bus Station

Dependencies

Use a virtual environment. Install the package and test dependencies with:

python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e ".[dev]"
