An Android soaring forecast app was developed to help consolidate various forecasts and information useful for soaring(aka gliding) pilots. To help with assessing soaring conditions a customized version of Windy was added via an Android webview.
Android open source at: https://github.com/efoertsch/SoaringForecast
App in Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.soaringforecast.rasp (note that code in Github may be ahead of latest app release as the app is still being developed as time permits).
@Ivo Thanks. How can I use 'sst' overlay? Is it only available under 'ecmwf'? Because I can set it on your main site, but I cannot set it in the examples (using chromes console). I can see "sst" in the allowed list but it returns Uncaught (in promise) undefined when I try to set it
OK, thanks, I understand now, many thanks.
In current implementation, there's no reason why a developer couldn't add any URL obtained via Windy Widget UI (which doesn't explicitly display any prohibition), in any IFrame on any web application.
To avoid such a stuff, I guess Windy would be forced to continuously track calls to such an URL, which should be boring at the end...
@SGMA_Daisy-Hur Hello Daisy, thank you for your interest in our API.
Could you please send us email to info@windy.com with more details about your project and calls limit, you would be interested in?
@grigoryptashko @vsinceac Correct, only european model ECMWF covers the Black Sea, however we are not allowed to offer their data to a third party, therefore it is not accessible via our API.
Of course adding this info in API docs should be doable and useful.
Changing the API is more difficult: it would require all API clients to change the queries, then anyway values format in queries is just a convention.
