VisionSync IPLiveCams - Boutique Suite

Scrape IPLiveCams webcams with full VisionSync V1 enrichment: live stream URLs, HD snapshots, real-time weather, and automated health checks.

What does IPLiveCams Scraper do?

This Actor extracts structured data from IPLiveCams live camera pages, including:

• Live stream URL (HLS .m3u8) for direct playback
• HD snapshot captured from the live player
• Real-time weather at the camera's GPS location (temperature, conditions, wind)
• Stream health check verifying if the feed is currently live
• Metadata including title, description, coordinates, and provider info

Every result is enriched through the VisionSync Core pipeline and billed via Pay-Per-Event.

Why scrape IPLiveCams?

IPLiveCams aggregates ~1,500 webcams with YouTube and HLS streams, covering US cities, beaches, and landmarks. Useful for building live cam aggregators, traffic monitoring tools, and US-focused travel dashboards.

How much will it cost?

This Actor uses Pay-Per-Event pricing:

Volume	Cost
1 result	$0.002
100 results	$0.20
1,000 results	$2.00
10,000 results	$20.00

You only pay for successfully enriched results saved to the dataset. Failed or empty scrapes are not charged.

Platform costs (compute and proxy) are billed separately by Apify based on your plan.

Supported URL formats

This Actor accepts two types of URLs:

• Camera pages -- a direct webcam page with a live stream player. The Actor extracts the stream, takes a snapshot, and enriches with weather.
• Listing/category pages -- a page that lists multiple cameras. The Actor auto-discovers camera links on the page and scrapes each one.

Just paste any IPLiveCams URL and the Actor will figure out the rest.

Programmatic access (API)

Run this Actor via the Apify API and integrate into your pipeline:

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("Vf10ZNN31k2fodZua").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.iplivecams.com/live-webcams/new-york-city/"}]
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["title"], item["enrichment"]["weather"]["temp"])

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('Vf10ZNN31k2fodZua').call({
    startUrls: [{ url: 'https://www.iplivecams.com/live-webcams/new-york-city/' }],
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(item => console.log(item.title, item.enrichment?.weather?.temp));

cURL

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/Vf10ZNN31k2fodZua/runs" \
  -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.iplivecams.com/live-webcams/new-york-city/"}]}'

Tips

• Use Apify Proxy (enabled by default) for reliable scraping and anti-blocking.
• Schedule runs with Apify Scheduler to build a time-series of camera snapshots and weather data.
• Combine multiple VisionSync scrapers to build a comprehensive multi-provider webcam directory.
• Export results via the Apify API or integrate with webhooks for real-time pipelines.
• Pass a listing page URL to auto-discover all cameras on that page.
