Hi guys,
I have seen several people already asking about how to get the latest BloomSky image. Since it is a dynamic URL it is not as easy, so I created a little script which will do it for you.

Instructions:
1. Download the attached PHP file
2. Open the file in a text editor and insert your API key - if you don't have one, you need to get one for free from the official BloomSky developer's site
3. Upload the file anywhere on your server
4. For the image source on your page, use this php file.

eg:
<img src="...../bloomSkyLatest.php">

It should work, but since I cannot test properly because I dont have the camera, I would appreciate if someone could confirm it.

Enjoy

I see two zipped PHP files with the same name. For some reason I am unable to download either of them even though I am logged in to the forum. Perhaps it is a forum issue. .....(update)...now it works. Thanks. I am going to tinker with it a bit now.

Funny, just last night I looked if I could do something like that - but I couldn't :oops:

Have downloaded the zip (I think the latest when only one was showing) and get this http://www.komokaweather.com/bloomsky/bloomSkyLatest.php

Did I miss something

I checked the link Paul and I see an image of your snowy street, so I dont see any problems with it

Hmm, with that link I get
