- **Overpass Turbo API**:
Addresses are retrieved from [Overpass Turbo](https://overpass-turbo.eu/)—a web-based data mining tool for OpenStreetMap. It provides a powerful query language for extracting location-based data (like street addresses) from the OpenStreetMap database.

- **Datasette**:
[Datasette](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/) is used to display CSV data on a website. It offers a lightweight, flexible way to query and visualize structured data, making it easier to explore and share the address information we collect.
