Windy API v4 is here. Help us to test it

[ryanshores]

I seem to be getting "store Invalid value for product" on a lot of the overlays. Is there something to fix this or just wait for it to be fixes?

[garybrucey]

This works great for showing a map at a specific lat/long and letting the user move around the map and change options. Works on mobile too!

Thanks for the v4 api, the picker isn't displaying any data on android chrome/68.0.3440.91
plus it would be nice to zoom more than 11, not sure if that's intentional or not though I understand that it can put a lot of load on a tile server., If that's the case
perhaps you could add an option to check the hosts tile cache. so fetching a tile would be browser cache -> host cache -> windy. or can I do that via leaflet?

I tried the api v4.0 it doesn't seem to work on IE11 even I changed the arrow function. Also, is 'SST' (sea temperature) only workking under 'ecmwf'?

@xyw101 use Promise polyfill it will work

Hi, Is the ConextMenu available in api 4? Its really useful to have the Distance & Planning tool.

[lrlss]

@тарантога me too

@ivo I'm intrested to purchase API4. I'm not a programmer and I have very poor skill to code. So I'm asking if I purchase API4, can I get my old API3 scripts to myself?

[xyw101]

@Ivo Thanks. How can I use 'sst' overlay? Is it only available under 'ecmwf'? Because I can set it on your main site, but I cannot set it in the examples (using chromes console). I can see "sst" in the allowed list but it returns Uncaught (in promise) undefined when I try to set it

Hi there!
Looks like I found a bug: when you click on city there's no close button for info block (red circle with white cross). It's not present on your main site.
Thanks

Your comment about this bug is not clear.
Could you post a screenshot?

[antonms]

You can test it by placing your iframe with default settings.

• It's not a big problem for bigger screens:
  

• But it confuses users on small sizes. Map height becomes too short:
  

Thanks for fast feedback!

@antonms Hello, if I go to Windy.com on desktop or mobile device, I can see the close button. Your display resolution may cause some problems.

[antonms]

@Korina
No, I've tried a lot of different variations but it's not visible. This bug is on <iframe> only!
I placed default code from windy.com on jsbin:

@antonms Hello, are you referring to embed?
With embed you can choose, whether you want include spot forecast or not, if yes, there will not be any close button.

Where do you want to use the embed?

[antonms]

@Korina
It's just a weather widget on my site.
Even if you click on city with disabled forecast, you will see that close button is hidden

[Korina]

@antonms Hello, if you do not have option 'include spot forecast' turned on, you cannot display spot forecast. The missing button is intentional.

[antonms]

@Korina
Oh, I see. What is the name of this 'include spot forecast' parameter?

@antonms The modification of our embed is not approved, since it is intended to be used only by media.
