Anyone figured out what other info can be derived from the API? Maybe a piston that calls on that API and kicks back all the data available? Maybe it can provide more detailed info

#16
Thats a lot of data, and also beyond my scope of how to integrate into a piston. Maybe someone can help me in the right direction? Looking to add âmission descriptionâ but only on the ones from FL which is the original piston idea.
WCmore
#17
I believe this data will be found in this list:
-
$response.result[0].missions[0].description= âUnder development by Virgin Orbit since 2007, LauncherOne is an air launched rocket for small satellite payloads.â -
$response.result[1].missions[0].description= âFor the first time since the last flight of the Space Shuttle in 2011, U.S. astronauts will go to orbit from American soil. As part of NASAâs Commercial Crew Program, SpaceXâs Falcon 9 will launch the Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station.â -
$response.result[2].missions[0].description= null -
$response.result[3].missions[0].description= null -
$response.result[4].missions[0].description= null
Although, it looks like you can also use these for the same results:
$response.result[0].mission_description$response.result[1].mission_description$response.result[2].mission_description$response.result[3].mission_description$response.result[4].mission_description
Off Topic Side Note:
It should be easy for us to find a description for weather alerts, but so far, we have failedâŚ
(Any experts up for the challenge?)
WCmore
#20
Itâs coming along pretty good, @SergL, but with the current wording, these variables will never be set:
(GET requests do not linger in memory like variables do, so you either have to set those variables at 3:56AM, or make an additional request on the date & time in question⌠My choice would be the former)
SergL
#21
Ah gotya! I think Iâm going to leave it on the date/time trigger because I believe than it would be the most accurate description.
Iâm only looking for FL launches so if there is another one on the same day prior to FL it would populate those variables with that info instead of the FL one.
So I will add another get request to the top of the pile at the date/time trigger.
As always, most of this would not be possible without your help, thank you very much!!
SergL
#24
Sure can. This will check everyday for the next launch in Florida and set that date and time as the piston state. From there it will take that date and time and trigger a notification at that time which will populate the variables and push out with all the available info. If you are home and have a speaker setup it will also speak that same push notification. If you are in FL the next one should be Wednesday I believe.
WCmore
#25
I finally got a bit of freetime to play around with this one.
(I hope itâs OK that I started with your piston, @SergL)
Here are some the modifications I made:
- I stored the URL in a
variableso itâs easier for others to import - I created a customizable offset
variable, so the final alert can come in a few min early - I captured Flight Data at both events.
(I did not want to wait until the last minute to get this info) - I added a few comments up top to help
- I tweaked all Piston States and Logs
- I added Piston States to all events now (so youâll see more info in advance)
- I added more detailed logs at all events (even the long descriptions)
- Once thereâs no more FL launches in the list, the old
variablesare flagged
(IE: {nextLaunch} will never point to a previous date)
Here is a sample log from two days in advance:
(my hours are hidden in the pics for my privacy)
⌠and a sample Piston State:
I am tempted to add a second alert to fire off at the real event⌠but I figured most people will want a bit of warning before the launch, so theyâll have time to grab their beer binoculars, or tune into the webcast, etcâŚ
Edit:
I just tweaked the spoken phrase so it sounds more natural to me⌠Sample output:
NASA Alert⌠Falcon 9 is launching in 30 minutes. Crew Dragon Demo-2 (DM-2), at Kennedy Space Center on pad LC-39A. For the first time since the last flight of the Space Shuttle in 2011 ⌠etc
(she continues to read both sentences)
When & where is the next rocket launch worldwide?
SergL
#26
Once again, you made something 1000% better!! I will be replacing mine with this one as it does everything I want and is WAY cleaner!!
Thank you!
edit, not sure if its because you worked off of a pervious one that was asking for a URL during import but that box still pops up even though you have it set as a variable.
edit #2, I am adding the nasa link as part of a text message option so that the user can click the link and follow on their device during launch, right out of the message.

#27
Just FYI. Sorry, I had created a piston for this myself last week and then I forgot to post it. Of course, @WCmore outshines mine by far but I did add one additional feature which is the time to launch.
This is the piston state:

For those interested in the next launch (regardless of the location), I have created a beefy piston over here.
