Hi. I'm new and I dont know how to download OSM historical data

If you’re interested in OSM’s coverage of still-existing structures and other things that have historical value, you can query Overpass for certain tags such as historic=*.

If you’re interested in what OSM used to contain about the modern world, there’s a version of the planet file that contains the full history. That’s a lot of data, so you might prefer to look at archived copies of Geofabrik extracts or query Overpass attic data.

If you’re interested in data about the past, regardless of whether OSM ever knew about it, check out OpenHistoricalMap. It’s quite sparse compared to OSM, especially as you go back in time, but you never know. There are lots of ways to access the data, similar to OSM.

Thanks a lot. I think my question was a bit vague. I want to access the 2024 2025 version of roads and streets in my country

For most countries in OSM, that’s going to be too much data for an attic query against the most popular Overpass API servers, so you’d probably want to download an archived Geofabrik extract of your country from that time period and filter it down to roads using Osmium or GeoDesk.
