Extents with Webcam API | The WeatherAPI Community Customer Community

Does anyone know how to supply an extent for webcams queries instead of a singular point? I'm currently using http://api.wunderground.com/api/{key}..., and need to be able to get the webcams for a specific extent. I've seen it done for other parts of the API with maxLat maxLon, but can't seem to get it for this.

Thanks!

No, there's no search functionality like that at the moment for webcams. Sorry

Okay, is there a way using the countries query to use multiple countries in one request? For example, all webcams in Morocco AND Egypt?

I would like to be able to pull down webcams where the extent is a known PWS ID. I don't necessarily need a wide search area if I know XYZ station has a webcam. I was thinking something like

http://api.wunderground.com/api/{key}...

Thoughts?

That should work if you provide the pws: ID in the URL.

Thanks, Brendan. I did try that, and it turns out it gives all the webcams within some predefined distance (something I can't change) near to and around the PWS ID. What I really desire to know is if any given station has an associated webcam without having to search through all the cams nearby.
