Block *.yandex.net imagery
Closed this issue · 10 comments
Problem
Yandex Maps satellite images are not allowed to be used in OSM
Description
Example of use:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/147580817
The domain on which they are located is:
https://core-sat.maps.yandex.net/tiles?.....
In addition, Yandex has the Tiles API, which should also be blocked:
https://yandex.ru/dev/tiles/doc/ru/quickstart
https://tiles.api-maps.yandex.ru/....

This is an operational issue, not a web site issue.
Requests to change the imagery blacklist need to come from DWG as described in openstreetmap/chef#623.
In the DWG chat, one comment was that if there's a block, it should be on *.maps.yandex.net because they have file hosting, image hosting etc. on that domain that has nothing to do with their maps.
When using yandex.ru/maps/
https://core-sat.maps.yandex.net/ = aerial imagery
https://core-renderer-tiles.maps.yandex.net/ = map tiles
other kind of tiles are also under maps.yandex.net
It does not appear that yandex is in the imagery index, though it was proposed once here.
In the DWG chat, one comment was that if there's a block, it should be on *.maps.yandex.net because they have file hosting, image hosting etc. on that domain that has nothing to do with their maps.
Has the DWG decided to request a change to the blacklist?
Green light from dwg for blocklisting:
*.api-maps.yandex.ru
*.maps.yandex.net
I thought @AntonKhorev said all the actual map tiles were under the maps.yandex.net domain?
Actually maybe I misunderstood what he was saying... Blocked both in openstreetmap/chef@92d4fd1.
maps.yandex.net has all tiles as used by the official yandex map app
api-maps.yandex.ru has tiles that anyone with an api key can use
