Automate ISS Position Updates with Real-Time RabbitMQ Integration
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow automatically fetches the current International Space Station (ISS) position every minute and pushes the data to a RabbitMQ queue. It's ideal for applications requiring real-time geospatial tracking of the ISS.
About This Workflow
Leverage the power of n8n to create a seamless real-time data pipeline for ISS tracking. This workflow is designed to fetch the latest geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the International Space Station at one-minute intervals. The retrieved data, including the timestamp and satellite name, is then meticulously structured using a 'Set' node before being published to a designated topic within your RabbitMQ message broker. This ensures that any subscriber applications can reliably consume and process up-to-the-minute ISS location information, perfect for scientific research, educational platforms, or hobbyist projects.
Key Features
- Automated Data Fetching: Retrieves ISS position data at a user-defined interval (every minute).
- Real-time Data Publishing: Pushes live ISS location data to a RabbitMQ queue.
- Data Structuring: Organizes fetched data (latitude, longitude, timestamp, name) for easy consumption.
- Scalable Infrastructure: Integrates with RabbitMQ for robust message queuing and distribution.
How To Use
- Configure the Cron Node: Set the
triggerTimestoeveryMinuteto ensure the workflow runs hourly. - Set up the HTTP Request Node: Ensure the
urlis set tohttps://api.wheretheiss.at/v1/satellites/25544/positions. Thetimestampsquery parameter is set to dynamically fetch the current timestamp. - Configure the Set Node: Map the incoming JSON data from the HTTP Request node to create new fields for
Latitude,Longitude,Timestamp, andName. - Connect the RabbitMQ Node: Configure your RabbitMQ credentials and specify the
queuename (e.g.,iss-position) where the data will be published. Ensure theSetnode is connected to theRabbitMQnode.
