%h1#title API and Data Use Policy
|
|
%p
|
|
We hate legalese, so we've tried to make this policy readable. If you've got any questions, feel free to
|
|
<a href="mailto:support@growstuff.org">ask us</a>, and we'll do our best to answer.
|
|
%p
|
|
This API and Data Use Policy covers all websites (such as <a href="http://www.growstuff.org">growstuff.org</a>) owned
|
|
and operated by the Growstuff Maintainers ("Growstuff", "we", "us", "our") and all associated services, collectively
|
|
referred to as "the Service".
|
|
%p
|
|
In particular, this policy covers any access to the Service via any Application Programming Interface, feeds,
|
|
spidering, scraping, or any other automated or programmatic access to the Structured Data or Content available via the
|
|
Service (collectively, the "API"). This policy applies to anyone who uses the API ("you", "developer").
|
|
%h2 1. API Provided As-Is, and Subject to Change
|
|
%p
|
|
Growstuff provides its API on an as-is basis, as described under "Disclaimer of Warranties" in our
|
|
<a href="http://www.growstuff.org/policy/tos">Terms of Service</a>.
|
|
%p
|
|
Growstuff's API is subject to change. We will make reasonable efforts to notify developers of changes and of the
|
|
release status of any API features. You should make reasonable efforts to keep up with Growstuff technical news via
|
|
our forums, mailing lists, or other channels.
|
|
%h2 2. Don't overload our servers
|
|
%p
|
|
You agree to limit your access to the API in such a way as to prevent excessive load on the Service. Growstuff
|
|
reserves the right to restrict or rate-limit access to the API if necessary to maintain the performance of the
|
|
Service.
|
|
%h2 3. Use of Growstuff Data and Content
|
|
%p
|
|
You agree to observe the terms of the <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US">Creative
|
|
Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC-BY-SA) 3.0 Unported License</a> under which our Structured Data is made available.
|
|
You agree to observe the copyright and intellectual property rights of Growstuff's members with regard to their
|
|
Content posted on the Service, including but not limited to posts, comments, images, etc.
|
|
%p
|
|
You agree to respect any privacy settings which pertain to the Structured Data or Content you access via the API. You
|
|
agree not to republish any Structured Data or Content with more permissive access than was originally intended by the
|
|
member who posted it.
|
|
%p
|
|
Growstuff acknowledges that Structured Data and Content made available under the API may be cached or retained by
|
|
third parties for any length of time. However, we request that if you are building an application using current
|
|
Structured Data and Content, you will make reasonable efforts to regularly update it, including removing any
|
|
Structured Data or Content that is deleted from the Service, and reflecting any changes in privacy settings that
|
|
pertain to it.
|
|
%p
|
|

%h2 4. Authentication
|
|
%p
|
|
Growstuff reserves the right to require authentication and/or app registration as a condition of use of the API and
|
|
Data.
|
|
%p

|
|
provide their Growstuff login name and password.
|
|
%h2 5. Penalties
|
|
%p If you violate the terms of this Policy, Growstuff may restrict your access to the API.
|
|
