# Use to get copyright information to use when rendering a tile.

`GET /map/copyright/caption/{format}`

The `Get Copyright Caption` API is an HTTP GET request designed to serve

In addition to a basic copyright for the whole map, it can serve specific

for displaying provider information on the map.
