I have created a web-based tool to easily and intuitively obtain the access token needed to make most requests to the OpenStreetMap api.

It is hosted courtesy of Interactive Maps.

The tool walks you through the process of obtaining such a token. It is useful for those writing server-side software that communicates with the api.

I created this tool because there is no other simpler way to authorise server applications. Current ways require running code locally.
