      Hi Windy-Team/Community
      I'm new to windy and I am trying to get from like 5 webcams some pictures on a daily basis purely for personal use because I like the pictures and want to put them into a digital frame next to my bed.

      I tried it over the API with "&include=images" It works but the quality is just to low it just gives me the preview or thumbnail quality. I tried getting the links over the api to the high res pictures of the website but I only get redirect Links to the websites. I would like to have the images in high res. like they are on the windy website locally. The Images are embedded and I wanted to ask if it is allowed to download them through the direct links for instance:

      https://images-webcams.windy.com/76/1697032276/current/full/1697032276.jpg

      Or is it possible to get the images in high res through the API?

      Thanks for your support and help your website rocks!

        Also very interested in a solution to this. I have a couple of windy.com webcams I'm interested in, both of which appear to be very lo-res.

        This is one: https://images-webcams.windy.com/87/1715578787/current/full/1715578787.jpg

        How do I confirm or find-out the maximum resolution - the above image is only 759x426 pixels.

          @rolands50 Yeah, do you know how we get some admins to answer our question?
          I'm still waiting for a answer...

            Still frames are uploaded to the server here then people can view them through windy. They are further compressed more than likely. If you want a less compressed and also more recent image click on the link for the providers website and go to the direct source of the image.
            Windy is a weather platform, not an image sharing or live streaming platform.
