Windy Rate Limits

Windy enforces per-key daily session/request quotas that differ by product and tier. The Point Forecast and Map Forecast APIs are limited to 500 daily requests/sessions on the free testing tier and 10,000 on Professional (expandable by agreement). The Webcams API is governed by token-secured image URL validity (15 minutes free, 24 hours professional) and listing offset caps (1,000 free, 10,000 professional) rather than a published per-minute rate. Exact per-minute throttling values are not publicly documented.

Windy Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Windy on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 8 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, sessions, minutes, hours, and offset.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Weather, Forecast, Maps, Webcams, and Visualization.

Policies

Service-Specific Keys
Keys are not interchangeable across Point Forecast, Map Forecast, and Webcams; each product requires its own key.
Tiered Limits
Daily caps and image-URL validity raise when upgrading from free/testing to Professional, with further increases by agreement.
Token-Secured Imagery
Webcam image URLs are time-limited tokens; clients should re-fetch webcam objects on each page load rather than caching URLs.
