ISS Position Updates to Kafka Every Minute
Fetches the International Space Station's real-time position every minute via API and streams it to a Kafka topic for IoT monitoring and analytics.
This n8n workflow automates the retrieval and streaming of the International Space Station (ISS) position data. It uses a Cron node to trigger every minute, fetching current coordinates from the Where The ISS At API via an HTTP Request node. The response data is then cleaned and structured using a Set node, extracting key fields like name, latitude, longitude, and timestamp. Finally, the processed data is published to a specified Kafka topic ('iss-position') for real-time consumption.
