<p dir="auto">I have number of Weather stations and they all have webcams (1 or 2).<br />
Managing weather stations is simple and effective using <a href="https://stations.windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">https://stations.windy.com</a><br />
There I have list of my stations and can edit and update as needed, very good.<br />
Also the API for sending information is clear and easy to use.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>&lt; rant &gt;</strong><br />
But then we have the webcams and their management.<br />
Management is actually not existing (at least not to normal users).<br />
I dont see a list of my webcams, cannot edit or amend info or add details.<br />
This is very much needed for those managing more than very few cameras.</p>
<p dir="auto">There is some approval process, which should be clear, while it has not been working properly for some time.<br />
We dont know what kind of presentation of the data (images) is preferrable by <a href="http://windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">windy.com</a> or easy to use, which for developers would be helpful.<br />
I understand there is certain security/misuse possible, which should be checked, but for "known providers" this should be simple.<br />
Can some standard interface for sharing webcams (to windy) be published which developers can use?<br />
The algorithm of retrieving photos is not publicly known, but more infor to <a href="http://windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">windy.com</a> might improve this very much.<br />
Webcams that take photos normally at regular intervals are common, but the info is not part of info shared with <a href="http://windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">windy.com</a>, like photos every 10 minutes/30 minutes, and if photos are only during daylight hours. If there are more than one direction of images (like alternating directions with two cameras).<br />
Even emails of approval, reject, disable due to problem or enabled again when OK are not received anymore (were OK but stopped sometime last year)....<br />
<strong>&lt; /rant &gt;</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Could webcam providers get some <a href="http://webcams.windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">webcams.windy.com</a> management in similar way as <a href="http://stations.windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">stations.windy.com</a>, even (some or all) changes might neet approval of admins ?</p>
<p dir="auto">Can this be looked into and improved ?</p>

<p dir="auto">I am currently using the Windy API to integrate webcam images into my website hosted on Wix. The API call successfully retrieves data about the webcam, but the images object in the response seems incomplete or unavailable. Here are the details:</p>
<p dir="auto">Problem Description:<br />
I am using the endpoint:</p>
<p dir="auto">ruby<br />
Copy code<br />
<a href="https://api.windy.com/webcams/api/v3/webcams/1261059416?lang=en&amp;include=images" rel="nofollow ugc">https://api.windy.com/webcams/api/v3/webcams/1261059416?lang=en&amp;include=images</a><br />
with the correct API key in the headers.</p>
<p dir="auto">The API response includes information about the webcam, such as title, status, and view count, but the images object does not contain the current.preview URL for the webcam image. Here’s a sample of the response I am getting:</p>
<p dir="auto">json<br />
Copy code<br />
{<br />
"webcamId": 1261059416,<br />
"title": "Finsterau: bei Langlaufstadion",<br />
"status": "active",<br />
"viewCount": 32192,<br />
"images": {<br />
"current": {},<br />
"daylight": {}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Despite including images in the query parameters, the current.preview or any similar key with an image URL is not present.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have verified that the webcam is active and correctly identified. When I visit the webcam page on <a href="http://Windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Windy.com</a>, I can see the image, so I assume the data exists but isn’t being returned via the API.</p>
<p dir="auto">Steps Taken:<br />
Verified the API key and domain restrictions in the API dashboard. My domain is authorized.<br />
Used both lang=en and include=images in the query string.<br />
Tried other webcams, and the issue persists.<br />
Question:<br />
How can I retrieve the current.preview or similar URL for the webcam image via the API? Is there a known limitation for this specific webcam or the API functionality in general?</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you for your help!</p>

Unfortunately, users can't edit the cameras themselves, but they can suggest edits, which will then be approved by an administrator to prevent errors in our database.
However, we will be very happy if you take a look at the cameras on Madeira and send us the edits. The easiest way is to click on a specific camera, then click on the Edit button, then select the field you want to change and click on the pen on the right, as seen in the screenshots below.
As for the new cameras, we'd be grateful if you'd add them at https://www.windy.com/-add-new-webcam/webcams/add

We have just followed the migration guide for V2 to V3.
The response is not correct then ("Offset is over free API tier limit 10000!"). Anyway, the all-webcams endpoint sounded very promising, but after looking at the documentation, it's missing some, for us, essential data, like city and urls with detail, edit, and provider. If you guys can add this to the response, we'd be more than happy to just use this endpoint, or add the option to use query parameters to get the data we want. Then it will be sufficient for us to make only one query against the API per day. As it stands now, and I've understood the API correctly, we need to query webcams/{webcamId} endpoint for each camera we get from all-webcams, which means around 65,000 queries, to get all the information we need. I don't think this is a better way. Do you have any suggestions?

OK cool. I thought the token was also designed to minimize API usage.
