Webcamtaxi Scraper - Live Stream URLs, GPS & Weather

Scrape Webcamtaxi camera pages worldwide. Durable Twitch and YouTube stream URLs, exact GPS coordinates from the page map, and current weather.

What does this Actor return?

Every field below was checked against live Webcamtaxi pages on 2026-08-21.

• Durable stream URL -- the Twitch channel or YouTube watch page, which keeps working, rather than the tokenised manifest behind it, which is dead within hours
• Liveness from evidence: isLive is true when the player was observed fetching its manifest or segments during the crawl
• Exact GPS coordinates, read from the camera's map embed -- the camera's own position
• Current weather at those coordinates: temperature, feels-like, conditions, wind, humidity, UV index
• Timezone, elevation, sunrise and sunset
• Auto-tagging (beach, harbour, city, mountain, wildlife, traffic, landmark)
• Location search -- type a country name, no URLs needed

What this Actor does not return

No snapshot. Webcamtaxi embeds someone else's player, and a cross-origin player cannot be screenshotted. snapshot.state is "none". For still images, use the WhatsUpCams, SkylineWebcams or Worldcam Actors in this suite.

Why scrape Webcamtaxi?

Webcamtaxi aggregates embedded live streams from around the world, including city cams, beaches, airports, and traffic views. Useful for building global camera aggregators, travel planning tools, traffic monitoring, and location-based content feeds.

How to use

1. Create a free Apify account at apify.com if you don't have one.
2. Open this Actor and type a location (e.g., "New York") -- or paste specific URLs.
3. Click Run and get durable stream URLs, exact coordinates and weather.
4. Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Output tab.

Search by location (no URLs needed)

{
    "location": "Italy"
}

Just type a city, country, or landmark. The Actor auto-discovers webcams on Webcamtaxi for that location.

Filter live cameras only

Set filterLiveOnly: true to skip offline cameras -- useful for scheduled monitoring runs.

{
    "location": "Italy",
    "filterLiveOnly": true
}

How much will it cost?

This Actor uses Pay-Per-Event pricing: $0.002 per result until 2026-09-04, $0.01 after.

Volume	Until 2026-09-04	From 2026-09-04
100 results	$0.20	$1.00
1,000 results	$2.00	$10.00
10,000 results	$20.00	$100.00

You are only charged for a result that carries a verified asset. A camera whose stream returns 404, or whose only still image has not been rewritten in weeks, is reported in the log and skipped rather than billed. Titles and descriptions on their own are never charged for.

Programmatic access (API)

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("nQpfLukgPIIb7C5Nt").call(run_input={
    "location": "Italy"
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["title"], item.get("tags"), item["enrichment"]["weather"]["temp"])

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('nQpfLukgPIIb7C5Nt').call({
    location: 'New York',
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(item => console.log(item.title, item.tags, item.enrichment?.weather?.temp));

Schedule for monitoring

Build a time series of camera liveness and weather by scheduling this Actor:

{
    "actId": "nQpfLukgPIIb7C5Nt",
    "cronExpression": "0 */6 * * *",
    "input": {
        "location": "Italy",
        "filterLiveOnly": true,
        "maxRequestsPerCrawl": 20
    }
}

Tips

• Search by location -- type a city name instead of hunting for URLs.
• Use filterLiveOnly for scheduled runs to skip offline cameras and save costs.
• Use the tags field to filter results by category (beach, city, mountain, etc.).
• Pass a listing page URL to auto-discover all cameras on that page.
• Schedule runs every 6 hours to track weather changes at camera locations.
