Inquiry About Adding More Public Webcams from Romania to Windy

[ButeBarb]

Hello,

I would like to ask about the procedure for adding more public webcams from Romania to the Windy application, such as those operated by local municipalities, at various intersections, or other publicly accessible locations.

Is there an official way to suggest new webcams or to submit sources (links/streams) to the Windy team?
If so, could you please provide the required steps or the technical criteria that these webcams need to meet in order to be integrated into the platform?

My goal is to help improve the accuracy of weather monitoring in Romania by making additional webcam views available from different areas.

Thank you in advance for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Hi @ButeBarb,
Thank you for your inquiry and willingness to help us add new cameras to Windy—we appreciate it! Could you be more specific about the sources you are referring to? Could you send us the URLs where we can find them?

Generally speaking, we do not have an open API for bulk camera addition. However, there are several ways to add cameras to Windy, including automatic import, which we can set up once we have the camera owner's consent. Without knowing how many cameras there are and what type they are, we cannot give you a specific answer.

Please add the sources where we can find the cameras either here in the community or send them to webcams@windy.com, which is managed by administrators who deal directly with webcams.
