OpenStreetMap No Authentication (public APIs only) connector profile – StackOne setup guide

Set up the No Authentication (public APIs only) connector profile for OpenStreetMap in StackOne. One-time admin setup required before your users can link OpenStreetMap accounts via Hub.

Connect without credentials

The No Authentication (public APIs only) method needs no account, API key, or OAuth application. It connects to OpenStreetMap’s public read and query APIs only, so there is nothing to configure on OpenStreetMap’s side.

1. Select the No Authentication method

   In the StackOne Connector profile, choose the No Authentication (public APIs only) method and connect. Leave all credential fields empty — none are required.

2. Review what this connection can access

   This connection can call only OpenStreetMap’s public, credential-free APIs:

   • Nominatim geocoding — search, reverse-geocode, lookup, details, and status.
   • Overpass API — Overpass QL feature queries.
   • Public OpenStreetMap read endpoints — map data, nodes, ways, relations, changesets, notes, user profiles, and API capabilities.
   • Any action that edits the map or reads a user’s private data (element/changeset/note writes, preferences, GPS traces, messages) requires the OAuth 2.0 method instead and will fail on this connection.

Creating the StackOne Connector Profile

To create the Connector Profile in StackOne for OpenStreetMap:

1. Navigate to Connector Profiles

   Login to StackOne and navigate to Connector Profiles

2. Create New Connector Profile

   • Click + Connector Profile
   • Search for and select OpenStreetMap
   • Select Type as No Authentication (public APIs only)
   • (Optional) Select Actions to be enabled for this Connector Profile
   • Click Create profile

Congratulations! The new Connector Profile will now show up in your project ready to be used. You can now continue to Link Accounts for OpenStreetMap.
