Terms of use
Downtime: the API is provided for use as is with no liability for downtime on behalf of Ben Bedwell or Derbyshire County Council.
Data Caching and Re-use: the API allows bulk access to content. We encourage you to cache content wherever possible to avoid making too many API calls. Cached data should only be used by the initial requesting party, and not passed on to others.
Branding and Attribution: developers using the API must add acknowledgements to code, web pages and in other locations, attributing the content retrieved via the API to Derbyshire County Council. Any further attributions within the content (e.g. in image captions) must also be retained and displayed in their original form.
Rate Limits and Fair Use: access to the API is monitored but not currently rate-limited. Excessive use of the API, either through inefficient design or high numbers of users, will lead to rate limits. We encourage you to cache content wherever possible to avoid making too many API calls.
Versioning: the API may change with immediate effect, especially in response to security-related incidents.
Access: Ben Bedwell and Derbyshire County Council reserve the right to terminate access to clients that violate any of the terms of use, or otherwise behave in a way that is damaging to the Wonders of the Peak platform, users or providers.
Commercial Restrictions: use of the API for commercial applications is not allowed. Content served via the API is typically licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License: clients must not use the API in ways that undermine this license.
