Get weather forecastGet the weather forecast for a point on the map, step by step: temperature, wind speed and direction, gusts, rain and snow, cloud cover, humidity and pressure. Values arrive in everyday units (°C and °F, km/h and knots, mm, hPa), and the forecast model decides the coverage and resolution.
Get current weatherGet the conditions at a point right now, or at a time you choose. Windy publishes forecast runs rather than live observations, so this returns the forecast step nearest the moment asked for and says how far from it that step is.
Get marine forecastGet the sea forecast for a point: wave height, period and direction, wind waves, primary and secondary swell, and (with the Copernicus model) ocean surface and tidal currents.
Get air quality forecastGet the air quality forecast for a point: the US Air Quality Index with the band it falls in, fine and coarse particulates, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and dust. The European model (camsEu) adds the six pollen counts.
Get raw point forecastGet raw forecast values for a point: pick any of Windy's 21 models, any of its 39 parameters and, for temperature, dew point, humidity, wind and geopotential height, any pressure level. Values come back under Windy's own keys with the units it reports them in. Use this when the weather, marine and air quality actions do not carry the value you need.
Search webcamsSearch Windy's worldwide webcam collection by category and place. Filter by what the camera looks at (beach, mountain, traffic and so on) and by continent, country, region or city, and sort by popularity or by when the webcam was added. Each result carries its location, still image, live and timelapse player links and its page on windy.com.
Find webcams nearbyFind the webcams around a point, within a radius you choose. Give it the coordinates of a place and it answers with the cameras looking at it, each with its location, still image and player links.
Find webcams in an areaFind the webcams inside a rectangle on the map, given its north, east, south and west edges. Use it to cover a region, a coastline or a mountain range rather than a single point.
Get a webcamGet one webcam by its id, with its current still image, its live and timelapse player links, where it is and when it last refreshed. Image links are signed and expire (15 minutes on the free plan), so read this action again when you need a fresh one.
Get several webcamsGet up to 50 webcams at once by their ids, each with its location, still image and player links. Windy ignores every other filter when ids are given, so this is a lookup rather than a search.
Get webcams for a mapGet webcams spread evenly across a map view, for a rectangle and a zoom level, so pins do not pile up on top of each other. Where several webcams sit close together one stands in for the group and carries how many it represents. The rectangle may not be wider than the zoom level allows: 22.5° of latitude at zoom 4, halving with every level in.
List webcam categoriesList the categories a webcam can be filed under, with their names in the language you choose. These are the values the category filters accept.
List webcam continentsList the continent codes the webcam filters accept, with their localised names.
List webcam countriesList the country codes the webcam filters accept, with their localised names. Search by name or code to find one.
List webcam regionsList the region codes the webcam filters accept, with their localised names. Regions are states and provinces, coded like 'AU.02'; search by name or code to find one.
List webcam citiesList the city codes the webcam filters accept, with their localised names. Search by name or code to find one.
