API & Data

Read Me

All of our outdoor data is public. In theory, you could use all of our API offerings to build an exact copy of Campflare. Any individual or non-profit has free access to all of Campflare's APIs. Commercial use requires a paid license which helps keep Campflare free. If you've got a unique case, just reach out — we sometimes make exceptions.

Access

The Campflare API is temporarily invite only. Please reach out to contact@campflare.com for access. Expect to receive an invite within 24 to 48 hours.
