Track ISS Position Updates & Store in TimescaleDB
Automates fetching International Space Station position data every minute via API and stores latitude, longitude, and timestamp in a TimescaleDB table for real-time tracking.
This n8n workflow triggers every minute using a Cron node to fetch the current position of the International Space Station (ISS) from the WhereTheISS API. The HTTP Request node queries the API endpoint for satellite 25544 with the current timestamp, retrieving precise coordinates. A Set node then extracts and formats the essential data: latitude, longitude, and timestamp, ensuring clean data for storage.
Finally, the TimescaleDB node inserts this data into a customizable table named 'iss', leve
