Hello Martin. I'm afraid you are confusing two different things. The relevant page for authentication is this one https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OAuth (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OAuth) This is a totally different thing from the editing API. Cheers, Jói 1. ágúst 2019 kl.

There is a large amount of precedent, for example mapillary, maproulette and lots that I've forgotten. So the answer is likely that while the website-devs are not in love with it, it is perfectly acceptable. Simon Am 01.08.2019 um 13:52 schrieb Nick Whitelegg: > > Hi, > > > I'm just asking

[OSM-dev] Use of OSM API for non-editing third party applications

Hi, I'm just asking something which was raised as an issue in my Gitlab repository for OpenTrailView (www.opentrailview.org; fully FOSS 360 panorama site which uses OSM ways to connect panoramas together). The person who raised the issue requested that OSM
