Policies

Fair Use
Public endpoints are intended for apps, websites, maps, directories, and research. Cache responses where practical, avoid unnecessary repeated requests, and do not mirror or republish the full dataset as a competing service.
Backoff Strategy
Clients receiving a 429 Too Many Requests response should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honour any Retry-After header when present.
Excessive Automated Traffic
The provider documents that 429 may be returned when automated traffic is excessive. Automated clients should rate-limit themselves proactively rather than relying on server-side throttling.
Server Errors
Transient 500 responses may occur. Clients should retry idempotent reads with backoff and surface persistent failures to the operator.
Caching
Responses include a publish_version envelope field that supports consumer-side cache validation. The dataset manifest publishes content-addressable artefact metadata (SHA-256 + bytes) for bulk-download cache strategies.
