What has changed in this release?

Switching to ohsomeNow Stats instead of Leaderboard API

This release is mainly focused on switching the statistics source to ohsomeNow stats API.

Tasking Manager tool provides high level OpenStreetMap contribution metrics under three sections:

  • Home page metrics
  • Individual user statistics under My Contributions section
  • Individual Project metrics tracked using OpenStreetMap hashtag information

Data points for these three sections currently comes from two different sources:

  • Missing Maps Leaderboard API - for all OpenStreetMap related metrics eg: buildings mapped, kms of highways mapped, number of changesets
  • Tasking Manager backend - for task statistics eg: number of tasks mapped/validated, project contribution across countries, causes contributed to

Leaderboard API has not been functional since mid-September 2023 affecting the data availability for Tasking Manager. Due to this, you might have seen most of the OpenStreetMap data points indicated as 0 within Tasking Manager.

With this release, we will switch to ohsomeNow Stats API as a source for all OpenStreetMap statistics ✨. You will be able to see all the updated stats under My Contributions section. Points of interest mapped and km road mapped are reflected with - as the data is not being updated. We will be looking at updating these in the future.
