Workflow Overview
TimescaleDb Automate efficiently retrieves satellite position data every minute, storing key information like latitude, longitude, and timestamp in TimescaleDB. This streamlined process enhances data management and accessibility, enabling timely insights and analysis.
This workflow is ideal for:
- Data Analysts: Who need to regularly collect and analyze satellite position data.
- Developers: Looking to integrate satellite data into applications or services.
- Researchers: Interested in tracking satellite movements for studies in space science or related fields.
- Automation Enthusiasts: Wanting to automate data collection processes without manual intervention.
This workflow addresses the challenge of automatically collecting satellite position data from an external API and storing it in a TimescaleDB database for further analysis. It eliminates the need for manual data retrieval, ensuring that users have the latest data available at regular intervals.
- Cron Node: Triggers the workflow every minute, ensuring timely data collection.
- HTTP Request Node: Sends a request to the satellite API to retrieve the current positions of the ISS (International Space Station) using the current timestamp.
- Set Node: Extracts the relevant data (latitude, longitude, timestamp) from the HTTP response and prepares it for storage.
- TimescaleDB Node: Inserts the extracted data into the specified table in the TimescaleDB, allowing for efficient querying and analysis of time-series data.
