2. What Is This Service?

Our Overpass API service provides programmatic access to data from OpenStreetMap. Due to the nature of this service, the data returned may be slightly outdated compared to what is displayed on the OpenStreetMap website.

4. User Obligations

  • Be Kind: Optimize your queries, limit simultaneous requests, and avoid malicious or disruptive use.
  • Respect Privacy: Ensure your requests do not contain any personally identifiable information.
  • Comply with OpenStreetMap's License: Credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors as required by their license. Refer to OpenStreetMap's copyright and license notice.

5. Best Practices

  • Use a meaningful User-Agent header. It should include your project name and a means to contact you (e.g., a link to your project website). By including an email address, you allow us to keep that address on record for contact purposes.
  • Prefer POST requests over GET requests where possible.
  • Notify us in advance of any large operations (e.g., sending over ten requests per second, or running more than ten requests at a time).

2. Information We Store

When you access our landing page or use our API endpoints, the following metadata may be collected for each request:

  • The first three bytes of the source IPv4 address (e.g., 123.45.67.0) or the first eight bytes of the source IPv6 address (e.g., 1234:5678:90ab:cdef::).
  • The date and time of the request.
  • The HTTP protocol version and request method.
  • The requested endpoint (GET parameters are not logged).
  • The HTTP Referer header content (if any).
  • The HTTP User-Agent header content (if any).

Logs may be retained for up to 48 hours and are used to detect and mitigate technical issues. This data does not qualify as personal data, so we do not require consent for storing it.

If you contact us by email, we collect the following information from your message's headers:

  • The name and email address ("From" header).
  • Your IPv4 or IPv6 address ("Received" header).

This data is stored for thirty days after your support ticket is closed to respond effectively to your inquiry or any follow-up questions. It is then automatically deleted.

4. Cookies

We use cookies only as part of our support system to keep you logged in. You can disable cookies or manage them through your browser preferences. If you only access our API or landing page, no cookies are set.

5. Your Rights

  • Right to Access and Data Portability: Request copies of your personal data and transfer it to you or another entity.
  • Right to Rectification: Request corrections of incorrect or incomplete data.

If you believe that we are not processing your data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, you have the right to complain to the competent data protection authority. In Austria, this is the Datenschutzbehörde.
