Real-Time Satellite Tracking & Alerting
detail.loadingPreview
Automate real-time tracking of satellite positions with this n8n workflow. Receive instant updates on satellite location, ensuring you're always informed.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow leverages the power of API integration and intelligent data processing to provide real-time satellite tracking. It begins by fetching the latest position data from a designated satellite API at a configurable interval, ensuring up-to-date information. The workflow then intelligently processes this data, filtering out any previously recorded entries to only present new, actionable location updates. This ensures efficient monitoring and avoids redundant notifications. The system is designed for robust, hands-off operation, making it ideal for users who need to stay informed about satellite movements without manual intervention.
Key Features
- Real-Time Data Fetching: Connects to satellite APIs to retrieve live position data.
- Intelligent Data Deduplication: Prevents redundant processing by identifying and ignoring already seen data points.
- Configurable Tracking Intervals: Set the frequency of data checks to suit your needs.
- New Item Notification: Alerts you only when new, relevant satellite data is available.
How To Use
- Schedule Trigger: Configure the 'Cron' node to set how often the workflow should run (e.g., every minute).
- Fetch Satellite Data: Set the 'HTTP Request' node with the satellite API endpoint (e.g.,
https://api.wheretheiss.at/v1/satellites/25544/positions) and any necessary query parameters. - Process & Format Data: Use the 'Set' node to extract and prepare the required latitude, longitude, and timestamp from the API response.
- Filter New Data: The 'Function' node intelligently checks for new timestamps, only passing unique data points forward. It also handles the case where no new data is found by returning a 'No new items' message. Configure static data storage within the 'Function' node for effective timestamp tracking across executions.
