Hi there! Really excited to start learning what lightship has to offer!

In the presentation, I saw you’re sharing Niantic spots (pokestops from Pokemon and portals from Ingress). Not sure what’s the API to consume this data. Developing a map-based app and these are great news.

Thanks,

Franco

Thanks for the response. Is there any way to access this data (Niantic spots) to build upon it? I might just scrap it if not, but would prefer to obtain it from you, with all the correct metadata.

Thanks,

Franco

Any feedback on this - we would also love to use Pokestop POI instead of something like Google for POI.
