We know the recommended way is to just try an API call which requires the specific permission. Our infrastructure queues all changes to the osm data and works it off later to be independent from OSM API status. But when the job is worked off it is too late to tell the user, that permissions are missing.

We did not get any feedback on our approach of improving the OSM API. We would like to know if it because it is totally crap or for some other reason.

So we call out to every OSM developer to check the code make a remark.

Thx, Christoph
