About This Workflow
Overview
This workflow retrieves the current latitude and longitude of the International Space Station (ISS) at a specified interval and logs this data, along with a timestamp, into a Google BigQuery table. It's designed to be a simple, community-contributed template for tracking ISS location data.
Key Features
- Fetches real-time ISS location data.
- Logs location data (latitude, longitude, timestamp) to Google BigQuery.
- Configurable to run at a set interval (e.g., every minute).
- Includes basic error handling.
How To Use
- Set up Google BigQuery: Ensure you have a Google Cloud project with BigQuery enabled and a dataset named 'iss' and a table named 'position' with 'name', 'latitude', 'longitude', and 'timestamp' columns.
- Configure BigQuery Credentials: Add your Google BigQuery OAuth2 credentials to n8n and name them 'BigQuery Credentials'.
- Set Environment Variable: Define
BASE_URLin your n8n environment variables to the API endpoint that provides ISS location data (e.g.,http://api.open-notify.org/iss-now.json). - Import Workflow: Import this JSON into your n8n instance.
- Configure Nodes: Ensure the 'Google BigQuery' node is correctly configured with your project and dataset details, and the 'HTTP Request' node's
BASE_URLis set correctly.
