[OSM-dev] Inquiry for using OSM on a website with some changes

[Adam rash]

Good afternoon,


I apologize in advance if this question is derived from a misunderstanding
of the usage of OSM on my part or if this is the incorrect contact channel
for such a question, I just want to inquire on a particular use-case.

I am emailing to ask if a certain project would be possible and acceptable
regarding the use of OSM on a business website that is being created.
Within this website, the goal would be to have an interactable map where
logged-in users can navigate and create custom markers with custom fields
that tie to objects within the website's database. For example, clicking on
the map to place a marker, with the fields/attributes showing accordingly
on the side for editing, and being able to characterize the marker by
pulling in attributes from an object within a database to fill in the
information. Also, I want to know if pulling in the OSM would allow for
this kind of use while only storing the data on our particular
server/database instead of flooding the current OSM site with the custom
markers.

In short, I am requesting the possibility of pulling in the OSM API for use
on a production website, with the ability to customize/characterize markers
and tie them to objects in a database, and having it only be intractable
with logged in users on that specific site without reflecting on the main
OSM site, much like creating a private or local Google Map.

Thank you in advance for any information you are able to provide.
