Hi, I'm making my own (yet another one) locations API (will be publicly documented). Is it okay to scrape this API http://pokemon.ellenlangelaar.nl/php/getSighting.php?type=all for location data to synchronize? Trying to get the data from several different services together.

Hi kaetemi, Yeah sure as long as you do some sort of mention to my site. Which services are you scraping as well?

kaetemi commented 8 years ago

Sweet, thanks. Currently also scraping pokemon-map.com.

I'm experimenting a little with geographical database queries right now, so needed some data. Doing some tests at http://pkloc.kaetemi.com/maps using a lowly populated world layer and geographical queries on the full data set when zoomed in. :)

@kaetemi I like the loading you do for your map, how did you manage to do that? Do you by any change have a github project about it?

kaetemi commented 8 years ago

I'll give you access.
