Data sources and credits

Our answers are built from open data. Each source has its own licence, and most ask you to credit them where people see the data, for example under a map, next to a forecast or on your app's about screen. Last changed on 8 November 2026.

Share-alike data

Showing OpenStreetMap data in your app needs the credit above. If you combine it with other data into a database and make that database or what you make from it public, the Open Database License can ask you to offer that database under the same licence. The OpenStreetMap Foundation's licence FAQ explains when this applies.
