[OSM-dev] Use of OSM API for non-editing third party applications

[Jóhannes Birgir Jensson]

In the OAuth authentication you get the display name and ID of the OSM user, you can then use that OSM ID to mark the users contributions in your own db.

 In the light of this discussion, and to follow up my original email, one thing I would want to do is associate uploaded panoramas with user IDs, for which I would need the OSM user details API. I would need this to only allow a given user to rotate or move their own panoramas, and not other users'. I presume this would be acceptable (if mentioned on an appropriate privacy policy)?  I tried to play around with Mapillary to see how they handle OSM authentication but I'm not sure whether it's working correctly- as when I am returned to Mapillary after authentication with OSM, I get the error "User does not exist".

Now you are confusing authentication with authorisation.

  Not necessarily, the API calls user/details (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Details_of_the_logged-in_user (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Details_of_the_logged-in_user)) and user/preferences (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Preferences_of_the_logged-in_user (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Preferences_of_the_logged-in_user)) are used by some services to provide login and user organisation.  Tigerfell  Aug. 2, 2019, 2:14 a.m. by joi at betra.is (mailto:joi at betra.is):  Hello Martin.  I'm afraid you are confusing two different things.  The relevant page for authentication is this one  https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OAuth (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OAuth)   This is a totally different thing from the editing API.
