Ask HN: How to search online webcams?

5 pointsby airswimmerover 9 years ago
I assume there could be 3 different ways of doing this as usual.<p>1) Live webcam re-director<p>Such as http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.earthcam.com&#x2F;mapsearch&#x2F; But this only re-directs you to other sites those provide live webcams.<p>2) Live webcam broadcaster<p>Still on earchcam.com . But this time it provides live webcam broadcasting. http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.earthcam.com&#x2F;usa&#x2F;newyork&#x2F;timessquare&#x2F;?cam=tsrobo1<p>3) Webcam heartbeat locator<p>Some sites, such as shodan: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.shodan.io&#x2F;search?query=webcam<p>You can even get a webcam URL from this. But it looks some of the results are not valid anymore.<p>So, here is my question. ###### How to search online webcams in codes? ######<p>Any tutorials? Thanks!

Use the Shodan API -- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.shodan.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.shodan.io&#x2F;</a><p>You might have to write some logic to check the validity of the webcam, but I think that might be your best bet.
