Want to commercialise your applications?

You are free to use OS OpenSpace API for any freely accessible application you would like to build. If you are planning on commercialising this application, then you will need to sign up for our OS OpenSpace Pro service which would give you even more great mapping and technical and account management support.

Working with other OS API services

If you wish to use these code samples for OS OpenSpace Pro or OS OnDemand, you will need to make some small changes, as they use product codes rather than resolutions. You will aslo need to change the API URL (provided to you in your welcome pack) to the relevant service. Please see Getting started with OS OpenSpace Pro and OS OnDemand Web Map Tile Service (WMTS-like) for more information.
