Grant SlaterDear AI Companies, instead of sneakily scraping OpenStreetMap.org, how about a tiny $10,000 donation? We'll even throw in a shiny new download link to our entire planet's geo data! Who knew it was that easy? Start here: https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/donate/ #win #ai #bots #OpenStreetMap 🌍 🤖 🤑
Bart Louwers@[email protected] Scraping OpenStreetMap. 🤦 First time I see that combination of words.
@bart Unfortunately it is extremely common. Sometimes 100s of req/s hitting expensive API endpoints. Multiple IPs, faked UAs.
neau@Firefishy @bart Interesting challenge. Care to share how you overcome these nuisances? Do you block them by headers or just let them wreck havoc?
