/users/list

URL:

/users/list/userid={userid}[,{userid}[,...]]

Examples:

/users/list/userid=3626
/users/list/userid=3635,87362

Returns details of one or more {userid}. Multiple {userid} must be separated by comma. Required: at least one {userid}. The maximum allowed number of {userid} is 25.

/webcams/list

URL:

/webcams/list/{modifier}[/{modifier}[/...]]

Examples:

/webcams/list/nearby=40.11,12.05,5/limit=20
/webcams/list/category=traffic/continent=europe/orderby=popularity/limit=20
/webcams/list/nearby=40.11,12.05,5/category=traffic/exclude=1171032474/orderby=distance/limit=1

Returns a list of webcams according to the applied {modifier}s. Initially, the list contains all webcams. The resulting list of webcams from applying a modifer will be used as input for the following modifier. With every applied modifier, the list of webcams will be narrowed down. Possible values for {modifier} are:

• webcam (list of webcams as initial list)
• nearby (list of webcams around a position)
• bbox (list of webcams in an area)
• category (list of webcams in a category)
• property(list of webcams with a certain property)
• continent (list of webcams in a continent)
• country (list of webcams in a country)
• region (list of webcams in a region of a country)
• exclude (exclude webcams from a list of webcams)
• orderby (order the list of webcams)
• limit (slice the list of webcams)

exclude, orderby, and limit are always applied (even if not explicitly given) in this order and always after nearby, bbox, category, property, continent, country, region, and webcam have been applied.

If none of nearby, bbox, category, property, continent, country, region, and webcam are applied, then all webcams are in the list before applying exclude, orderby, and limit.

Please refer to the description of the various {modifier}s to learn more about their parameter and defaults.

A {modifier} may be applied only once. If a {modifier} is listed multiple times, only one will be applied.

Available {modifer}s are:
