Description

Returns a comprehensive OSM XML document containing the relation and all its dependencies.

From spec: Returns the relation including all referenced members

Usage Tips

- Relation ID must be a positive integer - Response can be large for complex relations (state boundaries may include thousands of nodes) - This endpoint is essential for rendering complete boundaries or routes - Members are returned with their full geometry, not just references
