Map.ca policy

Developer Terms

The relationship between Map.ca and developers who integrate with the platform via APIs, SDKs, or partner tooling.

Developer Terms wrap the API Use Policy, the Scraping and Automated Access Policy, and the Data Licensing Policy into a single document that developers agree to before receiving credentials. They cover identity, acceptable use, security obligations, data-handling expectations, attribution, support expectations, and termination.

They apply to every developer with Map.ca API credentials, every integrator shipping Map.ca data into another product, and every partner-provided tool that touches Map.ca surfaces.

Requirements

  • Accept the Developer Terms before receiving API credentials.
  • Identify the operator of every integration.

Prohibitions

  • Do not redistribute Map.ca data outside the Data Licensing Policy.
  • Do not bypass rate limits or terms via credential rotation.
