How often is OSM data updated for ORS? It would be nice if the ORS App could show you how up-to-date the data is. ---

We did an update last week on all profiles. And going forward (in 2-4 weeks) we’ll be able to update weekly again! You’re right, that’d be nice. We’ll try to integrate that info into our new app, which will launch in a few months. If you need to know: Send an example request on our [playground](https://openrouteservice.org/dev/#/api-docs/v2/directions/%7Bprofile%7D/geojson/post) (you need an API key for that), in the response there’s a field called `metadata` which has the property `engine.build_date`, which is +/- a few days the date of the OSM dump. Be aware though, that each profile might be built at different dates. ---

Thx this will help for my osm data testing for ors 🙂 ---

> in the response there’s a field called `metadata` which has the property `engine.build_date` , which is +/- a few days the date of the OSM dump. @nils seems like this not true in every case or there went something wrong with the build on `2019-05-29T14:22:56Z`. Here is an example request which is routing across the area mentioned in [Over a month to update map from OSM](https://ask.openrouteservice.org/t/over-a-month-to-update-map-from-osm/499) [https://api.openrouteservice.org/v2/directions/driving-car?api\_key=[enter-key-here]&start=16.334095,%2039.316022&end=16.342463,%2039.305961](https://api.openrouteservice.org/v2/directions/driving-car?api_key=%5Benter-key-here%5D&start=16.334095,%2039.316022&end=16.342463,%2039.305961) The response gives: ![Auswahl_598](https://ask.openrouteservice.org/uploads/default/original/1X/14c8203a7862c471b46c66db4deb8b12faed09b3.png) The change was made on 2019-04-02: > **[Changeset: 68798941 | OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/68798941#map=18/39.31393/16.33842)** > > OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license. But the route is calculated like this: ![Auswahl_599](https://ask.openrouteservice.org/uploads/default/original/1X/531b224cbdd5ecd81de774a6e92b9649dd711be9.png) Was the profile built on 2019-05-29 not using an up-to-date OSM dump? For comparison the calculated route with GH from [openstreetmap.org](http://openstreetmap.org): > **[OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_car&%3Broute=39.31606%2C16.33417%3B39.30706%2C16.34248#map=16/39.3119/16.3383&layers=N)** > > OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license. ![Auswahl_600](https://ask.openrouteservice.org/uploads/default/original/1X/2f75c903d47b305896e5defa2fed3877e44ab28d.jpeg) ---

The above case is now solved using the graph with `build_date: "2019-09-20T13:57:05Z"`.
