      We are interested in purchasing Windy's Map API in order to visualize maritime routes against weather forecasts.

      Regarding the advantages of professional over trial, the wording on your website is a little unclear. It reads "Unlimited forecast models - (ECMWF for internal use only)".

      I have to relevant questions:

      1. We are interested in accessing ECMWF tiles. What is the process for gaining access to ECMWF tiles (as purchasing professional doesn't seem to offer such access; or at least there is an asterisk with the note "internal use only"). Can someone clarify this?

      2. What are the actual benefits of professional over trial?

      3. Is it (or could it somehow become) possible to offer weather tiles for hindcasts (or even past forecasts as a compromise)?

      Thank you in advance,
      Kyriakos

        @kyriakos-mountakis Hello, the ECMWF license can be only used for internal purposes, it cannot be shown to the public or provided to external parties.

        The trial is designed for test purposes, if you want to actually use Windy API, you need to purchase a license.

        We do not offer past forecast data.

          Hi @Korina , thank you for the response. A few things remain unclear, so could you please help me clarify the following?

          1. What is the process of gaining access to ECMWF tiles (for internal purposes)? Your documentation says "ask us", and the option to buy ECMWF (along with professional) is disabled.
          2. Assuming we simply purchase the professional license (without ECMWF), which weather model is then used for your ocean currents tiles?

          Best wishes,
          Kyriakos

            @kyriakos-mountakis Please contact us at info[@]windy.com and specify how exactly you would use the ECMWF data. Thank you.

              @korina Hi again and thanks for the answer. I will contact you by email, though I am mostly interested at the moment in the second question above (which I guess you didn't notice). Which model are currents based on?
