Ads and the API: Illegal or Allowed?
What is the policy on ads appearing on/in applications/websites/etc. that make use of the API? I was under the assumption that they weren't allowed and was preparing to try and scrub my service clean of any ads that might appear, but I've come across various applications that both use the API and have ads. I don't know if those applications are technically in the wrong or not, and as such I wanted to get this straight before I spend a large amount of time doing this in case it's not super necessary.

4 RepliesPer the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/View/Bungie/terms]terms[/url]: [quote]No Commercial Use You may not use the Bungie.net API for commercial purposes unless you obtain Bungie’s prior written permission. If your use of the Bungie.net API generates any revenue, your use is commercial. If you are in doubt about whether your application is commercial, here are a few common examples of commercial use that may provide you some guidance: Users are charged a fee for your product or service that includes some sort of integration using the Bungie.net APIs; You sell services to Bungie.net users and use the APIs to bring users' Bungie.net content into your service; Your site uses API Data to drive traffic and generate ad revenue.[/quote] Make sure you read the rest of the terms as well.

1 ReplyGreat question to ask. I'm also curious about whether this also applies to people including links for donations since I've seen a few already.

I've noticed this too and wondered if Bungie are actually enforcing this. Only takes a few seconds to find apps which are breaking these terms.
