My application uses tiles from your server (https://otile1.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/osm/). Currently we are using tiles upto zoom level 17, we were thinking to increase zoom level upto 19 so is there a way to know that tiles will be available for most of the places with zoom level 19.

Tile access should be limited

Tile access should be limited to the mapping sdks. Direct access will be against the new Terms & Conditions in the very near future. There is no service to determine if the tile is a valid tile or a blank tile. You may be able to check the file size and if the image matches the file size of a blank tile it can be assumed the data is not displayed there.

I am contributor to gnome

I am contributor to gnome-maps I was not aware of the changes in the Terms & Conditions.

Do you know when this new version of the Mapquest Open maptiles usage T&Cs will be announced?

If yes, what will be the deadline to update our applications (we need a few weeks to do the update)?

Thanks

This is still not set in

This is still not set in stone yet, but should be coming in the next couple months.
