Server usage policy
ContentsGeneralWe are in principle happy for our Cell ID information to be used by anybody for creative and unexpected uses. However, OpenCellID's community servers are run entirely on donated resources. OpenCellID data is free for everyone to use. Our servers are not. Below are the minimum requirements that users of the OpenCellID community servers must adhere to. These may change in the future depending on available resources. Because OpenCellID data is free, other organisations provide services made from OpenCellID data. If your project does not meet these requirements, please obtain your OpenCellID data elsewhere. RequirementsAPI usage
Download of complete data filesThe cell tower data file provided at [1] changes once per day at approx. 3am (UTC time) and can be downloaded once per day per apiKey Most of the measurements files provided at [2] do not change at all. Technical usage requirements
Note: modern web browsers in standard configuration generally pass all the above technical requirements. Changes to this policyThis policy may change at any time subject to the needs and constraints of the project. Commercial services, or those that seek donations, should be especially aware that access may be withdrawn at any point; you may no longer be able to serve your paying customers if access is withdrawn.
