Query parameters

webcam_idstring

Webcam identifier to resolve into image and player URLs.

jmespathstring

Optional JMESPath expression applied server-side to project or reduce the JSON response before it is returned (mirrors the MCP jmespath argument). Invalid expressions, expressions larger than 1024 UTF-8 bytes, or projections that exceed the 256 KB output cap return HTTP 400 with a {_jmespath_error, original_keys} envelope. Grammar and worked examples: https://www.worldmonitor.app/docs/mcp-jmespath.

Response

OK

thumbnailUrlstring
playerUrlstring
titlestring
windyUrlstring
lastUpdatedstring

ISO-8601 datetime string of the webcam's most recent update (e.g. "2026-07-03T12:00:00.000Z"); empty string when unknown or unavailable. String (not int64): the handler emits new Date(...).toISOString(), so the field carries a datetime string, never epoch milliseconds.
