OpenStreetMap Data Attribution

When working with GeoJSON boundary geometries returned by the Campflare API, it’s important to check the properties field for licensing information. Many of our geospatial boundary features include data sourced from OpenStreetMap, which requires proper attribution and license compliance.

​
Identifying OpenStreetMap Data

Look for licensing information in the GeoJSON properties: 
{
  "type": "Feature",
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Point",
    "coordinates": [-122.4194, 37.7749]
  },
  "properties": {
    "name": "Example Location",
    "license": "© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0"
  }
}

​
License Compliance Requirements

When you encounter GeoJSON boundary data with "license": "© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0" in the properties, you must follow the ODbL 1.0 license terms. This includes:
  • Crediting ”© OpenStreetMap contributors”
  • Complying with all ODbL 1.0 license requirements
  • Providing a link to OpenStreetMap when possible
  • Following share-alike provisions if you create derivative works

​
Data Export Availability

In accordance with the ODbL 1.0 license requirements, upon request, we will promptly provide an export of our OpenStreetMap-sourced GeoJSON boundary data. Please contact [email protected] if you need access to the underlying boundary data.

​
Thanking OpenStreetMap

We extend our gratitude to the OpenStreetMap community and contributors who make high-quality geospatial data freely available. Their collaborative efforts enable applications like ours to provide detailed location information. Learn more about OpenStreetMap and their licensing at openstreetmap.org and review the ODbL license.
This licensing information applies specifically to GeoJSON boundary geometries. Always check the properties field of GeoJSON boundary features for licensing information and ensure full compliance with the ODbL 1.0 license terms when applicable.
