Could somebody please get in contact with us regarding the rejection of our webcam and the use of all the other feratel webcams. please contact me via contentpartner@feratel.com.
thank you very much.
i'm a bit disappointed. I saw a link, suggesting we can now add WebCams to Windy. So I spent quite a bit of time tracking down a good WebCam for a small town near me, and filled out the form. When I got to the final part, there was a checkbox to confirm I'm the owner of the WebCams. well I'm not, because it's a publicly available image. So I wasted a bunch of time and couldn't add anything.
It would help if you said right up front that you can only add WebCams that you operate yourself.

@jakecreps HI, basically, it is technically difficult to get live players in all cases, where they are available. However, if you know about any webcam that offers this and it is not in Windy, you can anytime report this directly in Windy.
we can't submit a new webcam. Windy says "We already process this webcam", but it's not true. The cam we are submitting is a new one.
It's definitely frustrating when Windy rejects your webcam submission with an inaccurate message. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue
URL Accuracy: Ensure the submitted URL points directly to the latest image snapshot of your webcam, not a website homepage or video stream.
@Suty Ok, all working now :) i was building the bbox incorrectly. now all work. The same with the nearby option. I was camel casing (nearBy) it and therefore the API was not getting the option. Thank you!
@Pablo-Murillo Hi, did you check Windy and that location there? We are not owners of these webcams and I am not able to find that location, so at this moment, I am not able to tell.
@CAZARIOJATORMENTAS Once you submit your webcam application, we review your webcam and test if downloading data on regular daily basis is possible Webcam approval usually takes a few days.
Can you elaborate on not having access? I made a few submissions directly in Windy over the last few days. Can the FAA webcam network not be accessed in Czechia?
Someone once told me that the FAA webcams are publicly available and can be accessed from anywhere in the world, including Czechia. However, I'm not too sure about this issue
