    • RE: Free tier — commercial use and attribution for an ad-supported site

      @Suty Hi Suty, thank you for your confirmation! It's understood that I use the API on the free tier in my site.

    • Free tier — commercial use and attribution for an ad-supported site

      Hello,

      I run japansnowline.com, a bilingual Japanese/English site publishing daily
      snow conditions for 3,108 ski areas in 48 countries. I would like to embed
      Windy webcam players on our ski area pages, using the free tier.

      I have read the API documentation and the Webcams API terms, but three points
      are not covered there, so I would be grateful for clarification.

      1. COMMERCIAL USE
        Our site carries display advertising (Google AdSense) and affiliate links
        to accommodation booking partners. The pages that would embed the Windy
        player are the same pages that carry those ads. Is this permitted on the
        free tier, or does an ad-supported site require the Professional tier?

      2. VOLUME
        We would embed at most one or two players per ski area page, loaded only
        when a visitor clicks to play. Across the site that is potentially a few
        thousand pages. Is there a daily or monthly limit on player embeds or API
        requests on the free tier that we should design around?

      3. ATTRIBUTION
        The terms ask for "Webcams provided by Windy.com" with links to windy.com
        and the add-a-webcam page. Should this appear next to each individual
        webcam, or is once per page sufficient?

      One further note in case it affects your answer: our site is statically
      generated and rebuilt once per day, so we cannot use image URLs that expire
      after 10–15 minutes. We would only use the player embed, never cached images.

      Thank you for your time.
