Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for:
- Developers looking to automate data collection from APIs.
- Data Analysts who need real-time satellite position data for analysis.
- System Administrators managing AWS services and looking to streamline message processing.
- IoT Enthusiasts wanting to track satellite data for projects.
- Businesses needing timely updates on satellite positions for operational decisions.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of manual data retrieval from the satellite position API. By automating the process, users can:
- Receive real-time updates on satellite positions every minute without manual intervention.
- Integrate this data seamlessly with AWS SQS for further processing or notifications.
- Save time and reduce errors associated with manual data handling.

Workflow Steps

  • Cron Node: Triggers the workflow every minute, ensuring timely data collection.
    2. HTTP Request Node: Makes a GET request to the satellite position API, fetching the latest data, including latitude, longitude, and timestamp.
    3. Set Node: Extracts and formats the relevant data from the API response, preparing it for further processing. This includes:
    - Latitude
    - Longitude
    - Timestamp
    - Name of the satellite
    4. AWS SQS Node: Sends the formatted data to an AWS SQS queue for further use, enabling other applications to process or react to the satellite position updates.

    • Customization Guide

    To customize this workflow:
    - Change the Cron Node: Adjust the trigger frequency by modifying the triggerTimes parameter to suit your data collection needs (e.g., every hour, daily).
    - Modify the HTTP Request Node: Update the URL in the url parameter to fetch data from a different API or endpoint as needed.
    - Adjust the Set Node: Add or remove fields in the values parameter to include additional data points from the API response or to change how data is structured.
    - Configure AWS SQS Node: Update the queue parameter to point to a different SQS queue if you want to send the data elsewhere.
