Fetches current snapshot images from foto-webcam.eu webcams using a local favorites list. Users request images by number, receive the current JPG in chat, and can manage their saved webcam entries. A Python script handles URL resolution and image download.
Retrieves live webcam images with a short command instead of manually browsing individual webcam pages.
When to use it
- Checking current conditions at a mountain webcam by number
- Viewing multiple webcam snapshots in a single request
- Listing all saved favorite webcam locations
- Adding a new webcam page URL to the favorites list
- Getting a live image from a specific foto-webcam.eu location on demand
