OpenCellid - is the data transferred from the application for sure - no activity on my token #164

Closed olekstomek closed 2 years ago

olekstomek commented 2 years ago

I send the data that I collect to Mozilla Location Service (MLS) and to OpenCellid. For OpenCellid, I need a token that I generated at https://my.opencellid.org/. I checked the activity on my token from the date I generated it and despite the data transfer (with success according to the information in the application) I see 0. Token is correct. Should I see values other than 0 with the data upload? image

I was clarifying that topic couple of years ago and it still seems not resolved on OpenCellId side... The usage tab shows the usage of 'reading' feature of their website, for example when you try to get the nearby cells or decode the location based on the identifier. There used to bea Contribution Report tab that showed them statistics for uploads but it's no longer available.

You can ask OpenCellID directly if they have the data under your api key from last couple of days. hello@opencellid.org

Thanks for the clarification. I sent an email to them. If they answer, I will let you know.

Answer is:

We haven't linked the data contributed to OpenCelliD to the dashboard yet, and my team is working on this. We'll keep you posted on this update.

I get similar statement from them at the beginning of 2021 ;-)

olekstomek commented 2 years ago

It remains to believe that they will do this. :) Or ask in future community.

It's 2023 and this is still an issue. I was told in OCID's email to ask the community, and nobody said anything in almost 2 weeks. I didn't think to search here until now since Tower Collector was reporting the uploads successfully.

It has me questioning if it's even worthwhile to be collecting for OCID and MLP; how can I know if what I submit is even being used in some public-facing manner from either? I want to improve location data for people not using Gapps.

@Espionage724 We’ve replied on the community thread. OpenCelliD only shows stats for API usage and not for contributions at the moment. We’ll be adding contribution stats to the dashboard in the next few weeks. For now, please reach out to hello@opencellid.org for contribution data.
