I’m trying setting up headers for Openstreetmap. I use AJAX to send requests.
Which HTTP header field is used for contacts? I thought it was “From” but the request doesn’t allow that field.
Any suggestions?
So from your clarification about it sounds like you are probably talking about one of our usage policies:
The only one which explicitly talks about contact information seems to be the Nominatim one for the geocoder, though all require a valid
User-Agentheader to help us identify any problem users.The best way to send the contact information requested by the Nominatim policy is probably as part of the
User-Agentthough using a URL parameter will work fine as well – anything that lets the administrators work out who you are from the logs if there is a problem basically.
