Request to be white listed
| The aim of OpenCellID is to collect the GPS positions of cell towers.
The main purpose of the OpenCelID community servers is to store the collected data and to provide regularly updated files for download. It is not the purpose of the OpenCellID community servers to provide the collected data to users thru an API but the existing API can be used free of a charge by all contributors of data to the OpenCellID database. Since July 7th, 2014 all user accounts that just read data from the OpenCellID database but do not contribute anything to OpenCellID on more than 15 individual calender days with download activities in a row are automatically blocked. Example: if a user downloads OpenCellID data once per week but never contributes at least 10% of the data volume of the downloaded data in the same time frame, his account will be blocked. Exceptions can be made for those that contribute otherwise to the OpenCellID project (e.g. software development, translations, research etc.), for students writing their theses about OpenCellID etc. For placement on the whitelist please send an email with your full name and phone number, including international country calling code, to [email protected]. As with our original mission the whitelist is free of charge and there is no charge for the OpenCellID API for adherents to our server usage policy. |
