How to find all web sites with maps that use the OSM tiles?

2 pointstapiok2y ago8 comments

I would like to get a list of web sites containing maps, that use tiles, served by the openstreetmap (*.tile.openstreetmap.org). I want to get a list of sites that do not show a proper attribution, which is required by the OSM license.

I suspect I will need to build a web scraper and configure a web bot to crawl the web as Google / Microsoft standard offerings do not seem to support this use case(?). What is the best tool/service/approach to do this?

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lacking_proper_attributi... is kind of related

But it is built completely manually

You could start with https://planet.openstreetmap.org/tile_logs/

Thanks for the link. In the first 10 ones I already found a couple of offenders.

Oh, that is quite interesting idea that I missed so far.

In case that you would go through them and manage to identify problematic cases: can you share list?

Either here, contact me somehow or even add cases to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lacking_proper_attributi... listing?

I've sent https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=matkoniecz, who is on the OSMF board with me and likes to work on attribution cases, a link to this thread. Feel free to post the offenders you've identified here for discussion.
