ISS Location (US-based_
A single flow that provides a simple HTTP JSON API for requesting the next overhead pass of the International Space Station (ISS) - this code is based on a valid location - this differs from the original version which used a valid UK Postal code (see: The original UK based flow)
API Description
Once the flow is deployed an /iss HTTP endpoint will be created taking a single query parameter: locatio=xxxxxxx.
Example of an HTTP GET request against the API:
<hostname>:<port>/iss?location=carmel,ny
| Output field | Field Description | Example of Format |
|---|---|---|
| message | Request Status | "Success" |
| Time | UTC Timestamp of ISS pass | 1570706118 |
| strtime | Formatted version of time | "10/10/2021, 11:59:32 AM UTC" |
| duration | Duration of pass (in seconds) | 559 |
| strduration | Formatted version of duration | "9 minutes 19 seconds) |
