    I'm working on a small web utility project called fdown.media, and I'm exploring ways to keep API-based features lightweight and responsive, especially for mobile users. I'm currently interested in how Windy API integrations should be structured when weather information needs to be displayed inside a web application. What is the recommended approach for reducing unnecessary API requests? For example: Should weather data be cached on the client or server? How often should location-based data be refreshed? Is it better to load the Windy component only when the user requests it? Are there recommended practices for avoiding duplicate requests when users change locations? What should developers consider regarding API limits and performance? I'd appreciate advice from developers who have experience integrating Windy API into web applications.

    @ivo Hello, I'm trying to publish a private plugin with the official template workflow (windycom/windy-plugin-template, .github/workflows/publish-plugin.yml, upload step unchanged). The request POST https://node.windy.com/plugins/v1.0/upload with my "Windy Plugins API" key always answers 415 Unsupported Media Type. The key itself seems fine: with an invalid key the same request answers 401. I tried 11 variants, all answered 415: full dist (plugin.js, plugin.js.map, plugin.min.js, plugin.json, package.json), then without the map, without package.json, and only plugin.min.js + plugin.json; an ASCII-only plugin.json; GNU, ustar and pax tar formats; the file part sent as application/octet-stream, application/x-tar and application/tar. plugin.json has "private": true, name windy-plugin-ekinox-stratege, version 0.1.0, built with @windycom/plugin-devtools 3.0.5. The source repository is a private GitHub repository. Could that be the reason? Is a public repository required even for a private plugin? Is there a requirement on the account, the plugin name or the archive that is not in the docs? Thank you!

    @scrmhawk In Windy, locations can be saved as Favorites And then they appear on the map. [image: 1773170607202-img_3266.jpeg] Or they can be added as GPX or KML files. [image: 1773170810442-img_3268.jpeg] [image: 1773171795801-img_3270.jpeg] Furthermore I understand that the plugins in Windy are not personal plugins, unlike the solutions I mentioned.

  • PWS API v2 - updating position (lat/lon)

    @Rolandoz said in PWS API v2 - updating position (lat/lon): What if you ONLY include the lat / lon fields in the json and omits all the other? Appreciate you thinking through the possible angles. I tried that approach previously. Because the station update via API v2 is done with a PUT, if any fields are missing they are overwritten as blanks. @Rolandoz said in PWS API v2 - updating position (lat/lon): And I assume your plugin can save the previous reported position and if it has not changed significant the simply omit the position update at all? The code already has a configurable distance calculation (default: 300m) so that when a boat is at anchor or dock the station update is skipped.

    @mcrossley Hello, you are right, but answer was not clear at all. Weather stations primarily report Mean Sea Level (MSL) Pressure, which is the station's atmospheric pressure corrected to sea level.

    @Baris-Icdas Hi, Historical rainfalls are available in Windy to Premium users. Tags are shown with a crown. It seems you don't have a Premium subscription. Am I right? [image: 1765176629691-be687888-250a-47e0-9640-3d3d230853fd.jpeg]

    @kiaramichael said in Discrepancy between embed link map and point forecast data: while the point forecast is usually produced by local forecast offices and can incorporate more recent human adjustments. I doubt there is any forecasts by local offices and human adjustment in Windy! Just an AI guess?

    Hi @leehall-agri, Thank you for your praise—we really appreciate it! We would also like to have more cameras from the UK, but it's a process that we can't really influence. Cameras are added to Windy by their owners, so it is entirely up to them whether or not they appear on our service. However, if you know of a site where there are more cameras available that are not on Windy, we would be happy if you shared it with us and we will then try to contact the owner and agree on cooperation. Thanks!

    @JAIME-SOLANO Hello, it seems that radar data has an outage on the end of the provider. Do you know any source of data that can be used to provide this data on our end?

    @111-000 Hello, not only the Wind layer is offered in our 3D mode. You should be able to check the majority of layers in this visualization.
