The Commons catalogue in two files: the places and routes that riders, curators and our open-data sources added, as GeoJSON, rebuilt every week. Download it once and host it yourself, instead of crawling the site or the API.

These three links always lead to the newest snapshot, so a script can fetch the same addresses every week. A download keeps the same file name every week; the build time is inside each file (generated_at).
For example: curl -L -o cycling-commons-places.geojson.gz https://cyclingcommons.org/developers/export/latest/places
The places and routes of the Commons itself, with the fields the API gives them: name, type letter, position or line, tier, grade and the evidence behind it, region, country, and the OpenStreetMap reference where there is one. Each record names its source, so you can give the credit its licence asks for.
Nothing about people: no accounts, names, email addresses, notes or moderation records. Nothing a curator has not let onto the map: no pending, rejected or trashed contributions, and no edit still waiting for review. No photos. And no record whose source licence does not let it be shared under the ODbL; those are counted here.
Not in it: the OpenStreetMap features the map also shows, by far the largest part of it: water taps, shops, shelters, road surfaces, cycle routes and much more. Get them from OpenStreetMap itself, with the same filters we use: how to get the OpenStreetMap data we use.
The database is licensed under the Open Database License 1.0 and its contents under the Database Contents License 1.0. Use it for anything, commercial use included: credit it as shown, share a database you build from it under the same licence, and keep it open. Sources that ask for their own credit are listed above and in the manifest. See the plain-language summary: Licensing.
A new snapshot is built every week. The newest 4 stay available, and the first snapshot of each month is kept for good; the others are deleted. A snapshot never changes once published, so a checksum you kept stays valid. For data fresher than a week, use the API.
Each file is a gzip-compressed GeoJSON FeatureCollection in WGS84 (EPSG:4326), one feature per line, with licence and attribution at the top. Coordinates have six decimals.
Your unsent report was kept. Clear everything
So we can tell you what happened. It is not shown to anybody, not even to curators.
Paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V). Up to 3.
We will tell you what happened to it.
