Yes, they mentioned revenue sharing for paid apps.

Seems this is exactly what’s going on.

> Did you communicate with them regarding the limit?

They said that limits wouldn’t be very limiting, ie. generally only protection from bots.

> Did you consider sharing revenues with them if that’s what they are looking for?

Yes, they mentioned revenue sharing for paid apps.

The problem is that our last conversation was more than month and a half ago and still no news from them.

It seems they are still not sure how to manage this. They are also still experimenting with the API. About 1 month ago, I found many of my unit tests started failing and I found they changed the structure of the XML returned. Did you communicate with them regarding the limit? Did you consider sharing revenues with them if that's what they are looking for? Thanks pronvit.

Did you communicate with them regarding the limit? Did you consider sharing revenues with them if that’s what they are looking for?

We discussed possibility of both free and paid apps with wikimapia admins. Now I'm waiting for finalized documentation from them. Unfortunately it takes toooo long. Yes, it was ad-supported.

I removed it myself because it hit some wikimapia limits (number of requests, etc.) after several days. And I removed it until there's clear documentation on their limits.

That is probably why. I was wondering if someone used their API in a free but add-supported app, will they still consider that commercial use. Thanks Mohammad. That is probably why.

Hello Majid,

It’s been removed I guess due to it’s commercial usage, while wikimapia doesn’t allow using it’s API for commercial apps.
