Distance to route?

Help and support
1

I would like an API with openstreetmap data which returns the nearest walking/bike/horse/canoo routes given a point on the globe.
The threshold should be 5 km.
Do we have an API that can do this already?
I’m thinking if not loading all routes into a postgis database should be able to get the job done.
Any ideas for queries?

Import into ppstgres with osm2pgsql is how if do it. Use postgis’s new kNN nearest neighbour search functionality to do it quick and fast with an index.
