Heatmap with OSM

Has anyone used any of the following heat-map api/scripts for OpenStreetMap:

Bjoern Hoehrmann's OpenLayers Heatmap Layer: http://www.websitedev.de/temp/openlayers-heatmap-layer.html
Heatmap by Patrick Wied: http://www.patrick-wied.at/static/heatmapjs/

I am looking for a free heatmap api that can be used in a production environment (a few thousand hits per day), so, if any one has used any of the above in a high visitor number environment, please share your experiences; otherwise please let me know if you are aware of any other free scripts for OSM heatmap.

Thanks!

@ShahriarNK, I also need to create a heatmap based on OSM. I would like to build this on C# VS2013. If you know some APIs that may help do this, please let me know. I would really appreciate.

2	Try https://github.com/fredj/openlayers-heatmap Not much documentation but the example is maybe suffisant: http://fredj.github.com/openlayers-heatmap/examples/heatmap.html permanent link answered 05 Oct '12, 09:06 fredj 41●3 accept rate: 0% edited 08 Oct '12, 08:14

2	What I can recommend is leaflet-heat, an easy-to-use Leaflet-plugin that provides fast and nice-looking heatmaps. permanent link answered 05 Apr '14, 08:20 tyr_asd 1.2k●5●19●27 accept rate: 64%

For completeness: There is also https://github.com/sunng87/heatcanvas (which has openlayers and leaflet support). But unfortunately, I can't really recommend it, as it tends to be slow and often produces non-satisfying results. It may depend on your use case, though.
