In the light of this discussion, and to follow up my original email, one thing I would want to do is associate uploaded panoramas with user IDs, for which I would need the OSM user details API. I would need this to only allow a given user to rotate or move their own panoramas, and not other users'. I presume this would be acceptable (if mentioned on an appropriate privacy policy)?
I tried to play around with Mapillary to see how they handle OSM authentication but I'm not sure whether it's working correctly- as when I am returned to Mapillary after authentication with OSM, I get the error "User does not exist".

Tigerfell Aug. 2, 2019, 2:14 a.m. by [email protected]: Hello Martin. I'm afraid you are confusing two different things. The relevant page for authentication is this one https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OAuth This is a totally different thing from the editing API.

So I have worked on the assumption that the answer would be yes, you can piggyback. it’s written here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API#Terms_of_use Cheers Martin
