Query on Windy Premium Features - Custom Data and API Usage
-
Hey Windy Community,
I've been fascinated by the capabilities of the platform, and as an avid ship enthusiast planning trips, the wealth of data provided here is truly amazing. I'm considering upgrading to Windy Premium, but before I make the leap, I have a few questions. I would really appreciate any help or pointers on these topics.
First, does Windy Premium allow me to upload custom data programmatically? Specifically, I'm thinking of pulling data from a third-party website and integrating it into my Windy map. Would this be feasible with the premium package?
Second, is there an option to download data from windy.com, preferably data of the current day, and view it later through an upload? It would be a great feature to have, allowing me to access and analyze the wind patterns and weather conditions when I'm offline.
Third, I'm curious if the API provided by Windy supports drawing or annotating directly on the map. I've done some web development in the past, but I'm not looking to write any custom WebGL. I'm hoping for a simple, straightforward method of adding my own notes to the map.
Lastly, what kind of support comes with Windy Premium? If I run into any issues or technical glitches, where would I go for help? Would this forum be the right place to seek assistance or is there a dedicated support channel for premium users?
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide. I'm really excited about the potential of Windy Premium and can't wait to see how it could enhance my ship trips.
Cheers,
Stathis Stathopoulos.

Hi @Στάθης-Σταθόπουλος, we are really glad for your interest in Windy Premium. If you are planning to purchase Windy Premium, there is no possibility to feed Windy with third party data programatically. You can only create your own plugin to Windy, more info about this option here.
Downloading data from Windy is not possible at all, so you always need to visit our app to get certain information.
According to the API, all information about this feature, that are available, can be found here.
We don't offer any Premium or dedicated support to our Premium users, however, you can contact us via email, Facebook, IG or here on our community pages, where anyone can help you with your matter.
