<p dir="auto">I have number of Weather stations and they all have webcams (1 or 2).<br />
Managing weather stations is simple and effective using <a href="https://stations.windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">https://stations.windy.com</a><br />
There I have list of my stations and can edit and update as needed, very good.<br />
Also the API for sending information is clear and easy to use.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>&lt; rant &gt;</strong><br />
But then we have the webcams and their management.<br />
Management is actually not existing (at least not to normal users).<br />
I dont see a list of my webcams, cannot edit or amend info or add details.<br />
This is very much needed for those managing more than very few cameras.</p>
<p dir="auto">There is some approval process, which should be clear, while it has not been working properly for some time.<br />
We dont know what kind of presentation of the data (images) is preferrable by <a href="http://windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">windy.com</a> or easy to use, which for developers would be helpful.<br />
I understand there is certain security/misuse possible, which should be checked, but for "known providers" this should be simple.<br />
Can some standard interface for sharing webcams (to windy) be published which developers can use?<br />
The algorithm of retrieving photos is not publicly known, but more infor to <a href="http://windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">windy.com</a> might improve this very much.<br />
Webcams that take photos normally at regular intervals are common, but the info is not part of info shared with <a href="http://windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">windy.com</a>, like photos every 10 minutes/30 minutes, and if photos are only during daylight hours. If there are more than one direction of images (like alternating directions with two cameras).<br />
Even emails of approval, reject, disable due to problem or enabled again when OK are not received anymore (were OK but stopped sometime last year)....<br />
<strong>&lt; /rant &gt;</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Could webcam providers get some <a href="http://webcams.windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">webcams.windy.com</a> management in similar way as <a href="http://stations.windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">stations.windy.com</a>, even (some or all) changes might neet approval of admins ?</p>
<p dir="auto">Can this be looked into and improved ?</p>
