Standard plan: commercial use, attribution, caching and licensing questions

Hello HeiGIT team,

I operate a free US relocation-cost planning website that may later earn affiliate commissions. Before integrating the hosted driving-directions API to improve route-distance estimates, could you please confirm the current terms for this use case?

1. Is use of the Standard plan permitted on this free public website if it may earn affiliate revenue?

2. What exact attribution text and placement are required for displayed driving distance or derived estimates?

3. May the application retain route distance/duration values for caching or reuse? If so, what limits and duration apply?

4. Do the CC-BY-SA 4.0 terms apply to numeric distance/duration values used only as inputs to our own cost estimate, and what obligations would that create?

5. What are the current Directions daily and per-minute quotas, and which API hostname should new integrations use?

Thank you.

Hey,

please have a look at the forum, especially here: Free plan in an app with a paid tier: license (CC-BY-SA 4.0), personal data and attribution questions
