Good evening and happy easter to those celebrating!
After a ton of work and being yelled at for making too many changesets,
making too many changes, making too few changes, not discussing the
automated edit properly (?!?) and being accused of working for Mapillary
or OSMand because why else would I even bother (clearly someone didn't
read the initial rationale), there are now 246.7k valid new API keys in
the "mapillary" key, with only 7.2k "old" keys left that could not be
matched to a new existing image, because they have either been deleted
by the user or where invalid to start with (lower case instead of upper
case character or something).
I haven't updated the Wiki Page [1] yet, the Community post [2] has some
more up-to-date info while I was working on the subject.
** This mail is to ask for comments on editing the "image"-key as well. **
Stats: There are around 14.9k objects in the planet file where the regex
"image"~".*mapillary\.com.*" matches, of which 11.1k also contain
"thumb" after that. In that case people used the "old" way of linking to
a thumbnail-image on mapillary, which no longer exists. 10.6k objects
_also_ have a "mapillary" that is purely numeric - i.e. has been changed
by the automated edit already and is therefore known to be a correct ID.
** Proposed edit **
1)
(way/194649358)
image=https://images.mapillary.com/za85be97UcMzVuaPCMZQVQ/thumb-2048.jpg,
mapillary=207683754228814
<https://www.mapillary.com/app?focus=photo&pKey=207683754228814>
=> image entry leads to same mapillary id, that already exists.
=> Action: remove image-entry because there are no thumbnails available
anymore.
=> That's one of the 10.6k objects, so the highest amount of objects to
edit.
2)
(node/5919376334)
image=https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=52.626783214558486&lng=-0.9952875506141936&z=17&pKey=MfEfU0jdHULiSROiCvl0Wg,
mapillary=MfEfU0jdHULiSROiCvl0Wg
=> image entry is the website link which could also easily be generated
from the mapillary entry
=> [ask myself why the id wasn't caught as a conversion candidate before]
=> Action: remove image-entry and update correct mapillary id

mapillary key non-existent
(node/3762262144)
image=https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/O8OS2R0tVfNEaFyZcFsesQ/photo,
mapillary key non-existent
=> image entry is the website link which could also easily be generated
from the mapillary entry
=> Action: remove image-entry and add correct mapillary id
4)
(node/9425856002) image=https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=134015699048525
=> image entry is the website link which could also easily be generated
from the mapillary entry
=> Action: remove image-entry and move the already correct new id to the
mapillary key
** Note **
As mentioned in [2] as well, objects that link to specific x,y,zoom URIs
will not be touched. As those are mostly 360° photos where people wanted
to show an exact point in the image, linking the numeric ID alone
wouldn't satisfy the mappers that used that image in the first place.
** Rationale **
Removing dead links from the image-key sounds like a no-brainer to me,
even though it might not be with the URI being unavailable temporarily.
In this case, direct thumbnails are never coming back.
For non-dead links (i.e. those leading to the mapillary website-"app")
everything (primarily the wiki page of the image-key [3]) yells at me,
that the ID should be stored in the appropriate key.
**
PLEASE provide feedback. I hate being shouted at for trying to support
the community (remember: the reason this came up was an app developer
who couldn't use the mapillary API v4 with the old keys anymore!).
Thanks a bunch!
Kai
