[OSM-dev] how many api calls/time for an app allowed?

[Gary68]

hi,

i am playing with the idea of providing "real time" error checking on
osm data. usually one would use the XAPI. but since it is unreliable and
obviously misses data and it seems no one really cares (no ansers to
questions about that matters on the mailing list - at least not
satisfying ones) one would use the API instead.

so let's say i would need ~500 calls a day for an application, each
requesting a "tile" of 0.01 by 0.01 deg. would i or my application be
stopped doing so? it is only read access!

thanks
