Using OpenStreetMap osmosis extract street names from polygon on map for display in RShiny table

Osmosis tool from OpenStreetMap (OSM) is used to extract the name of streets within a catchment polygon shaped area on a map. Uses .poly, .osm, and .pbf files. Street names gathered for an ongoing project in an RShiny app.

There are a number of steps taken to extract the names. Timings:
00:00 Introduction
02:15 Step 1 - extract polygon coordinates from geoJSON file in RShiny
06:56 Step 2 - save coordinates in .poly file
10:24 Step 3 - download .pbf file
12:25 Step 4 - install and use osmosis
18:14 Step 5 - create .osm file
22:44 Step 6 - filter .osm file
28:22 Step 7 - display street names in RShiny table

Hi, thank you for this very interesting video! If possible can you help me, I would like to read a Geojson file of type polygons from my disk in a shiny application and Leaflet. I already have a leaflet map that works well. Thank you very much 👍👏
