@osm_tech the scrapers don't know that you can torrent the whole OSM for free, without ddosing the webservice

@ISibboI Correct. Not an ounce of brain. It has been going on for months, but it is just getting worse. Waste of their resources/time and ours.

@geospacedman @ISibboI They are scraping the website pages: /ways/, /nodes/ and /relations/. All this data is published on planet.osm.org already.

Oof, sorry you are dealing with that load. Beyond blocklists, caching tiles plus aggressive rate limits per ASN, and serving 429s with Retry-After can help. For bulk use, requiring API keys for heavy endpoints can also cut abuse. Thanks for keeping OSM running.

@osm_tech Ugh, I am so sorry to hear this, and thank you to everyone working on this project.
Such a nightmare, and so completely pointless. ๐คฌ

Time to deploy Anubis in front of all the URLs that the scrapers are hitting. -

@osm_tech wonder if it is collateral damage or intended, to get rid of alternative sources of information?
Anyway, zip-bomb the hell out of them. -

Anyway, zip-bomb the hell out of them.@Don_Clemente Just dumb scrapers. They want our data, so maybe we /should/ redirect them to the latest full history planet file, it is only 245GB

Time to deploy Anubis in front of all the URLs that the scrapers are hitting.@gme Anubis is great, but not ideal for us. We have reasonable technical mitigations in place, but it is unfortunately an arms race (and time/resource blackhole)
