Changes for Basic members because of violating Geocaching API License Agreement #93

Recently I got e-mail about violating Geocaching API License Agreement from Annie Love (Partner Programs Manager, Geocaching) .

Annie complains about violating agreement in these points:

  • ... you are providing access to full cache details on more than 3 caches per 24 hour period to basic member accounts. It appears that you are providing a direct link to the cache listings on Geocaching.com for all cache listings. I'm afraid this goes against our API license agreement. We will need you to update your app to remove the direct links to the cache pages after a basic member has viewed the details in three caches in a 24 hour period.

  • ... we will also need you to include the basic member limit text that we provided in our API License Agreement.

Because of this, the app has to be updated in these points:

  • Remove Geocache Listing HTML code which load Geocache webpage (since ver. 2.2)
  • Update warning text in dialog after Sign in (since ver. 2.2)
  • Ask basic member about downloading full/basic geocache details and limitation for geocache update (since ver. 2.3)

The User's guide on Geocaching4Locus.eu website has to be changed accordingly.
