RE: Question about professional use of /webcams/export/all-webcams.json endpoint
Hi @kyle-horton
Example of images:
-
low-resolution image (included in all-webcams.json) It is optimized to be used as a preview and the size of this one is
398x224
-
high-resolution image (included in webcams/{webcamId}) It is a full-size image and the size of this one is 1920x1080
Example of result:
{ "updatedOn": "2024-09-27T00:20:18.053Z", "webcams": [ { "webcamId": 1000550952, "title": "Beinwil am See: Hallwilersee Nord 1", "viewCount": 204378, "status": "active", "categories": [ "landscape", "lake" ], "preview": "PATH/TO/IMAGE", "hasPanorama": true, "location": { "latitude": 47.26059, "longitude": 8.20506, "regionCode": "CH.AG", "countryCode": "CH", "continentCode": "EU" } }, { "webcamId": 1010004899, "title": "Beinwil am See: Hallwilersee Nord 2", "viewCount": 147620, "status": "active", "categories": [ "landscape", "lake" ], "preview": "PATH/TO/IMAGE", "hasPanorama": true, "location": { "latitude": 47.26945, "longitude": 8.21125, "regionCode": "CH.AG", "countryCode": "CH", "continentCode": "EU" } }, ... ] }

Hi, it seems to be okay now, so I will keep an eye on it for a few days to see if it was just some anomaly or if it needs to be fixed.

RE: Help adding a webcam
Hi @Samuel-Gaona .
Webcams are approved manually, and we receive dozens of requests for new cameras daily. Many are still in the queue, so it may take some time. However, yours should be up within a few hours. -

RE: Question about professional use of /webcams/export/all-webcams.json endpoint
Hi @kyle-horton
Thank you for your interest in our professional Webcam API!
The main purpose of the endpoint
/webcams/export/all-webcams.json
, you are asking about, is to get a list of all of the publicly available webcams we have at Windy, at once in a single endpoint updated every day.It includes a category list, info about the current location, title, view count (only from the last update timestamp), status, and current preview-size image.
So can use it for example, as a list on your webpage, using a preview image as a webcam thumbnail and calling the
/webcams/api/v3/webcams/{webcamId}
endpoint to obtain the high-resolution and daylight images, only when needed (for example, when a user clicks on a webcam thumbnail). This approach aligns with our Terms of Service and is ideal for optimizing your integration.We’re excited that you’re exploring our professional tier and are here to support you.
If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out!
