Some have public APIs, others require registration where it takes months to hear back.
I currently have about 30 ingestion scripts that more often than not break down.
I then also have an iOS app, but that ships with a bundled sqlite database.

Lowercasing the text and removing a few periods does not obfuscate the fact that it is Claudespeak.
And that is why most of OP's comments are being auto-flagged by HN's slop detector, which you can see if you turn on showdead.
cool idea, I like the round globe too, now with 3D rendering in the browser being trivial on modern devices, there’s no excuse for choosing compromising 2D projections of the globe.
Some pins also seem stacked exactly on top of one another, making them inaccessible (e.g. Chicago).
I've also got a list of 160 live YouTube cam streams with coordinates if you want me to send them somewhere.
Started watching the Sea Otters in the Seattle Aquarium. 10/10 would 'awww' again.
yeah right, TIL in Czechia there are only 3 live cameras and in Slovakia and Hungary zero
found immediately one in Bratislava

what a horrible website with such claims
flagged for obvious lies in title
just off the top of my head:
https://www.summitatsnoqualmie.com/webcams all of these are live most of the time
agreed that "every" is a bold claim. I can find more with a google search.
(edit) the site doesn't even let me suggest more. oh wait it does, it'a an almost invisible link at the bottom.
and man the form is annoying... url, email, catoregy, country, lat, lon... why not just right click place webcam done with it... I know where it is on a map, but this makes me go to google maps, find the lat/lon, copy them out, paste them into this other form....
There's a fair few missing from Australia (easily more than 8 24/7 live cameras in Oz). eg: The Kings Canyon Waterholes in Watarrka National Park. (mostly dawn and dusk action)
Spinning globe apps are always fun to, uhh, spin up - it's getting good and near complete data sets to layer on that often poses the real last mile challenge.
All the best.
the idea came from wanting a way to drop into somewhere on earth and see whats happening right now. youtube has thousands of 24/7 live streams (nature, transit, airport aprons, urban corners) but theyre scattered across a million channels so nobody finds them. so i put them on a globe.
currently 641 cams across ~60 countries. tap a marker, video plays inline, per-camera chat so you can see who else is watching the same view. free, no login needed to watch, no ads, no tracking.
stack: laravel + reverb websockets + postgres, maplibre globe with osm tiles, runs on a $10 tokyo vps. discovery is youtube data api cron on 200+ keywords + admin divisions, plus scraping the internal youtube search bypass for keyword combos api search misses. currently at 6% of the free youtube api quota.
thin spots in coverage: africa, small towns anywhere, central asia, pacific islands. if you know good 24/7 cams that arent geo-blocked, either drop the url here or use the submit button on the bottom left of the site. i approve within a day.
open to feedback on the map ux, discovery, whatever. happy to answer stack questions too.
