OpenStreetMap^® is open data, licensed under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL) by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF).

You are free to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt our data, as long as you credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors. If you alter or build upon our data, you may distribute the result only under the same licence. The full legal code explains your rights and responsibilities.

How to credit OpenStreetMap

Where you use OpenStreetMap data, you are required to do the following two things:

• Provide credit to OpenStreetMap by displaying our copyright notice.
• Make clear that the data is available under the Open Database License.

For the copyright notice, we have different requirements on how this should be displayed, depending on how you are using our data. For example, different rules apply on how to show the copyright notice depending on whether you have created a browsable map, a printed map or a static image. Full details on the requirements can be found in the Attribution Guidelines.

To make clear that the data is available under the Open Database License, you may link to this copyright page. Alternatively, and as a requirement if you are distributing OSM in a data form, you can name and link directly to the license(s). In media where links are not possible (e.g. printed works), we suggest you direct your readers to openstreetmap.org (perhaps by expanding 'OpenStreetMap' to this full address) and to opendatacommons.org. In this example, the credit appears in the corner of the map.

Although OpenStreetMap is open data, we cannot provide a free-of-charge map API for third-parties. See our API Usage Policy, Tile Usage Policy and Nominatim Usage Policy.
