noactive=1

[Peter Li]

Hi,

I was interested to pull reception reports for my grid square, so I tried copying the query that the maps page sends to the server. However, I notice that although I have noactive=1 the response includes thousands of lines of activeReceiver XML in addition to the receptionReport lines I actually want. Is that works-as-intended?

Hi,

Maybe consider talking to the MQTT endpoint instead? This is a better approach in every possible way: http://mqtt.pskreporter.info/

Not a direct answer to your question but rather than scrape the PSK reporter front-end, you can achieve this, on an ongoing and efficient basis, by utilising this service: 

http://mqtt.pskreporter.info/

Some work required, but not a great deal.

If you have further questions on it, please join us at https://groups.io/g/pskr-mqtt and ask away.

Best wishes

Thanks, I'm not sure MQTT / pub-sub is a good fit. I'd like to be able to pull, on command, the spots for my grid square for the last 10-5 minutes.

If there's some other endpoint I'm happy to try it. But aside from my project I just wonder; I'm looking at the response that the map UI is getting back from the server and more than 50% of the data is activeReceiver rows which don't actually seem needed to service the request.

Hi Peter, I'm very interested to hear this because I have a similar interest, possibly? I'm interested in looking at spots to and from my 'local' area, because I like to see a comparison of my tx/rx performance versus that of other nearby stations. I'm using the method that Tom suggested above & ended up writing a JavaScript application around it. Do you want to say more about your use case & why pub/sub doesn't work for you? Either way it might be nice to share ideas.

Given the endpoint you need doesn’t exist, architecturally, my suggestion is to stand up a Redis instance (docker run redis) and stream MQTT spots into it, transforming / keying them as required for your query pattern, with a short TTL.

Then stand up a simple REST API around it that meets your needs.

Tom's suggestion is an excellent one. However, I designed Spotty, https://spotty.modern-industry.com/ with pretty much the same brief to  myself, just using standard feed and displaying spots with a TTL, and I get a pretty good picture in the first minute or so.  I think it takes a while to move from a database mindset to a streaming one.

A most excellent tool, highly recommended :)
