Data sources
The API is exclusively fetching data from https://photon.komoot.io. The service is based on OpenStreetMap® data, which is licensed under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL), by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF).
Processing
The data obtained from https://photon.komoot.io is presented as is, without any further processing or modification.
