One option would be to set up an Overpass API server (or if your query volume is low to just use one of the public instances).

Or you could use osm2pgsql to import all data into a PostGIS database, and then use SQL to perform your queries.

Or last not least you could process the raw osm data in a streaming fashion, without having to set up a database at all, using the Osmium/pyOsmium libraries ...
