Windy Tiles API not working – Transparent tiles & no API usage recorded
-
Hello Windy Support Team,
I am currently integrating Windy Tiles API into my React-Leaflet project, and I encountered an issue where the tiles are not displaying correctly. Instead of showing temperature data (or any other layer), the API returns transparent images.
Additionally, even after multiple API requests, the Windy API Dashboard shows 0 requests, meaning my API key is not being registered as used.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1️⃣ I have an active API Key with “Map Forecast API” enabled.
2️⃣ I use the following TileLayer URL in my React-Leaflet project:
url={https://tiles.windy.com/tiles/v9.0/temp/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?api-key=${WINDY_API_KEY}}3️⃣ When checking the URL directly in a browser, replacing {z}/{x}/{y} with valid values:
https://tiles.windy.com/tiles/v9.0/temp/5/15/10.png?api-key=MY_WINDY_API_KEY• The response is a transparent image instead of actual temperature data.
• The request does not appear in the API Dashboard (it still shows “API has not been used”).
What I have tried:
✔️ I double-checked that my API Key is correct and included properly.
✔️ I tested different layers (wind, temp, rain), but they all return transparent images.
✔️ I created a new API Key with “Map Forecast API” enabled, but the problem persists.
✔️ I tested different zoom levels and tile coordinates, but the issue remains.
Expected behavior:
✅ The API should return actual temperature tiles instead of transparent images.
✅ API requests should be logged in the Windy API Dashboard.
Questions:
❓ Is there a known issue with Windy Tiles API at the moment?
❓ Are there any recent changes that require an updated integration method?
❓ Is there a delay in API Key activation that prevents it from working immediately?I appreciate any help or insights you can provide. Thank you for your time! 🙏
