Is there a way to extract the lat/long coordinates for each point along a "way?"

So I get that a way represents a set of edges between nodes in an OSM graph. I was wondering, is there a method to query all of the points that fall along a way? That is, I would like to identify all of the latitude and longitude points along a way.

I did google this question, and it seems like other people push the OSM graph into a database like PostGIS to do this. I was just wondering if there was a way to do this without pulling down to a database? Thanks.
