      Hi Windy,

      Some webcams that were not available in API V2 are now available in V3 (https://community.windy.com/topic/23527/missing-webcams-in-the-api).
      Is this the intended behaviour for V3 ?

      Thank you,

        Hi,

        I would really appreciate an answer to the above question :)

        Maybe the question wasn't clear so I rephrase it.
        In V2, we could query webcams this way to retrieve the image url:
        https://api.windy.com/api/webcams/v2/list/webcam=1438905018?show=webcams:image,url
        This would return an empty array for the url webcams. In this post (https://community.windy.com/topic/23527/missing-webcams-in-the-api), you explained that some webcams are not provided in API since their providers don't want to have them there.

        In V3, the same request (https://api.windy.com/webcams/api/v3/webcams/1438905018?include=images,urls) returns an url for this webcam.
        Is this the intended behavior and now those providers are okay to share their webcams through your API?

        I have no affiliation with any of those providers, I'm just working on a side project that may use your webcams API.

        Thank you,

          Hi @senaika,

          these webcams should not be included in the V3, it will be fixed as soon as possible.

          Thank you.
