Safecast radiation measurements API

Worldwide volunteer measurements; the checked sample returned a cpm reading with captured_at, latitude and longitude. Measurements can be filtered near a point (latitude, longitude, distance), by capture time (captured_after, captured_before) and by database insert time (since, until); bGeigie bulk imports and devices have their own endpoints. History start, update frequency, delay and total record count: Not stated on the checked pages.

Licence note
Two licences, and they are not the same. The DATA is CC0: "Safecast data is published under a CC0 designation" and "This is a public domain designation and means the data is free and open for anyone to use under any circumstance." The safecast.org WEBSITE is narrower: "The Safecast website is licensed under a CC BY-NC 4.0 License". The non-commercial term applies to the website, not to the measurement data.
Attribution
Not legally required for the data. Safecast's data page says users are not legally required to attribute the data back to Safecast, but asks for credit anyway because collecting it was a lot of work.
