[Tagging] Imgur links in OSM data has been backed up

[osm at mail.thibaultmol.link]

Hi, I already mentioned it on the forums but might be good to mention it here as well.

For contenxt: the image hosting website Imgur announced last month they announced a policy change so that they can delete imges uploaded without a user account. https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/14415587638029-Imgur-Terms-of-Service-Update-April-19-2023-
The Openstreetmap database actually contains about 19712 imgur links.

So I've made a script that extracts all Imgur links from the OSM database, using taginfo. And I downloaded all of them tip a zip file.

All is available on my Github repo here: https://github.com/thibaultmol/OSM-image-archiver



There's already people looking into alternatives (for example, the Mapcomplete application uses the Imgur api to upload the images (without a user account)) but it's still WIP


Cheers,
Thibault
