🏄Windy API, or Windy Leaflet Plugin, let you put animated weather map into your website and enjoy rich ecosystem of Leaflet library.
A collection of example code for Windy's Map Forecast API, which wraps Leaflet to embed animated weather visualizations on any website. It's for developers who want to show wind, rain, or other weather layers on a map without building the rendering themselves. The actual API lives on api.windy.com; this repo is just the examples.
The examples are self-contained HTML files — drop one in a browser and it works immediately. Covering picker, broadcast events, units, and UI manipulation gives enough surface area to understand what the API can do. Built on Leaflet 1.4.x means you can layer in any of the thousand-plus Leaflet plugins without fighting a custom map abstraction.
Last pushed in 2022 and pinned to Leaflet 1.4.x while Leaflet is on 1.9.x — unclear if the API still supports newer Leaflet or if these examples just bitrot quietly. This repo has no actual library code, no TypeScript types, and no npm package; you get examples only, and the real docs and API key signup are off-site. No offline or self-hosted option — your users' weather maps stop working if Windy's servers go down or Windy changes pricing.
