Publish ISS Position to ActiveMQ

Publish the current ISS position to an ActiveMQ topic every minute.

Setup and use

For Open Flow, enable the ActiveMQ Classic REST API on a broker reachable from the workflow. In Publish to the topic, set the HTTPS URL to your broker’s /api/message?destination=topic%3A%2F%2FYOUR_TOPIC and bind its username and password as secret Variables. Configure broker access to publish to that topic.

For n8n, configure the AMQP credential and the address topic://YOUR_TOPIC in AMQP Sender, using the same broker and topic as the REST destination. Activate one format.

Behavior

Every minute, retrieve the ISS position and publish one JSON message containing Name, Latitude, Longitude and Timestamp. Open Flow runs at the minute boundary; n8n Cron V1 uses a fixed second within each minute. Open Flow stops on invalid position data or an HTTP error. A publish with an unknown outcome may already have succeeded; check the broker before retrying.

Inspiration & credits

Changes to the source

Correct the position API timestamp from milliseconds to seconds. Open Flow publishes through the ActiveMQ Classic REST API; n8n retains AMQP. Configure the destination and credentials for your broker.
