<p>this is cool; i like that you used it continuously while building it/ built it for your own needs. are there any kinds of searches it does particularly well at? any fun hot takes come up in your summarizers?</p>

<p>i am not surprised that 'the way you clean and process the data substantially changes the quality of the results.' 
can you share anything about your approach here?</p>

<p>The frustrations you mention are some of the primary reasons we started iggy. There's a lot to this so I'll respond to your concerns one by one.<p>- You can store our data for thirty days, and that can be extended to month-to-month as long as you have a subscription. (This is covered in the 'SERVICE.' section of our TOS) Just keep in mind it will get stale if not updated on some cadence.
- Price: we are a new startup and inevitably have a lot to learn about pricing, but we will always communicate any pricing changes (This is covered in the "FEES AND PAYMENTS." Section of our TOS)
- We do require attribution, and there are many ways to do this-- happy to chat more about options here. (This is covered in the "CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES." Section of our TOS). To keep in mind, OSM data does come with a license that is still in effect if you are using it via our API. (osm attribution, and share alike when combined with other data, helpful info here: <a href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_and_Legal_FAQ" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_and_Lega...</a>). 
- You can combine our data w other sources. (Why? Iggy is founded by engineers, data scientists and others who get that this is how data becomes useful.)
- You can share our data on other maps unless otherwise specified (i.e. our datasets that start with 'licensed_'; see dataset-specific info in our data catalog (linked above))<p>Does that help?
If you have any other questions about this please don't hesitate to reach out to me at lindsay@askiggy.com</p>

<p>Thanks for posting! I'm Lindsay, the CEO of Iggy.<p>I was a Data Scientist at Airbnb for ~5 years and was shocked at how little we knew and leveraged about location in our product and models. I had done a lot of GIS work in grad school and knew it could be better, so I left last year to start Iggy. Turns out Airbnb wasn't the only company to struggle with this-- so many other cos in travel, real estate and insurance have trouble building, maintaining and leveraging geographic and location data. We've been working with a few in stealth, and are excited to now open up our APIs for broader use.<p>I am happy to answer any questions folks may have. In the meantime:

<p>You're right that there's a ton of OSM data that most people can't use. We want to change that and give access to so much more. Follow us on Twitter at <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/askiggyapp" rel="nofollow">https://mobile.twitter.com/askiggyapp</a> for lots more code samples this week and demos to come!</p>
