Feel free to add it to wiki:Maps/Worldwide. If you have an API key anyway. We don't have one.

[stoecker]

P.S. if you have an API key and usage is clear, mail it to me, I'll add it to JOSM's API server mechanism.

[Hufkratzer]

I emailed them and unfortunately got the answer that they don't want to provide a free key for JOSM because it would put too much load on their servers.

So I will close this ticket.

Somewhere read about 6-8 months ago there were 3.2K users of JOSM. BUT, guess once that API key would be made available it soon enough ends up in ID Editor too and that's a different ballgame. Rules do not stop as we've seen with (critical) imagery to which access was revoked courtesy of the abusers.

Hi guys!

I'm from Tracestrack. Recently we've added rate limit and 256px tile support, making providing a free key to JOSM feasible. What are the steps to add it to the default imagery set? @stoecker Could you help here?

URL template is:
​https://tile.tracestrack.com/topo__/{z}/{x}/{y}@1x.png?key=041e2e98b93659b9bce98f956fc177e7

An example tile:
​https://tile.tracestrack.com/topo__/10/511/341@1x.png?key=041e2e98b93659b9bce98f956fc177e7

Current rate limit is set to 900 requests per minute (15 per sec).

Entry can be added at wiki:Maps/Worldwide, simply copy another TMS and adapt the values. There is also a preview feature and a input validation.

Most important are meta data like license or usage conditions, images and TOS and so on (most are a optional for JOSM). A broken URL we can fix, missing data not ;-)

Something like this (I'd recommend to add a proper icon/favicon either as link or data-url, that's what most people see first :-):

    <entry>
        <name>TraceStack</name>
        <id>tracestack</id>
        <category>osmbasedmap</category>
        <type>tms</type>
        <url>​https://tile.tracestrack.com/topo__/{z}/{x}/{y}@1x.png?key={apikey}</url>
        <max-zoom>18</max-zoom>
        <attribution-text mandatory='true'>© OpenStreetMap contributors, CC-BY-SA</attribution-text>
        <attribution-url>https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright</attribution-url>
        <icon>data:image/png;base64,...</icon>
        <valid-georeference>true</valid-georeference> ... not sure about this. If in doubt remove it....
    </entry>

If I should add an API key please tell me the choosen <id> and the key, either by mail or when security is not an issue here in the ticket.

P.S. As you say 256px tiles: JOSM also supports other sizes. Only needs <tile-size> parameter. P.S. Docs are here: wiki:Maps

Thanks! I adapted your snippet and added to the wiki. However there is something wrong in the preview page: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/mapsview?entry=Tracestrack%20Topo%20Universal It looks like the URLs are not parsed correctly.

Replying to stoecker:

There was a hidden UTF-8 character at the beginning of the URL. Copy&Paste issue I assume.
