@Marcelklim said in Javascript fetch:

fetch("https://api.windy.com/api/point-forecast/v2", {
method: 'POST',
body: _data,
headers: {"Content-type": "application/json; charset=UTF-8"}
})

You should try body: JSON.stringify(_data)

Thanks @Korina

I sent those info to Marek:

It seems like the parameter we are looking for is HPBL (see https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/products/gfs/gfs.t00z.sfluxgrbf00.grib2.shtml variable #109) and some description of the Boundary layer in https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/web/gfs/documentation section 1.2.2
It's not exactly clear to me if this parameter HPBL is part of the GFS variables.

ECMWF seems to have it too: https://apps.ecmwf.int/codes/grib/param-db?id=260083

That would be a really nice addition for free flight pilots !

Is this data provided by the weather models ?

You should look at the windy repository with plugin examples.

Check this plugin.

I have just seen that the webcams are online.
Thanks !

@kekert You can use this script to extract the camera positions, url and azimuth. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

Hey,

It seems like the plugin-data-loader does not return the premium forecasts (i.e. more runs for ECMWF).

There are 2 problems:

1. by default the api send a POST request without credentials,
2. even if I force the credentials to be sent (by manually setting the option before the XHR is sent) then the same forecasts are returned instead of the latest premium ones.

Could you please consider fixing those 2 points (1 on the frontend and 2 on the backend) ?

Having the premium forecasts available in the plugin would give more incentive to users to buy premium.

Thanks

Simple repro code:

W.require("@plugins/plugin-data-loader")({
  key: "QKlmnpLWr2rZSyFaT7LpxZc0d5bo34D4",
  plugin: "windy-plugin-sounding"
})("airData", {lat: 40, lon: -120, model: "ecmwf"});

The source is http://www.alertwildfire.org/.

That's a network of camera that are used to look for wildfires on the west coast of the US. That's high quality picture on mountain tops.

See one example

I have figured how to get the URLs, positions and orientation of those cams.

Do you have an API to add 100+ webcams at once ?

I seem to remember it was supported on webcams.travel but it seems like only one web cam can be added at a time on windy.com

Thanks
