The Satellite Position API delivers accurate, real-time data for satellite positioning, specifically tailored for applications requiring precise orbital details. This API enables efficient tracking of satellite locations, trajectories, and forecasted positions. Designed for reliability and simplicity in integration, it is perfectly suited for sectors such as telecommunications, meteorology, and aerospace.
To utilize the Satellite Position API, you’ll need to make HTTP requests to our endpoints. Below is an example using Python to fetch the current position of a satellite.
import requests
# API endpoint
url = "https://satellite-position.p.rapidapi.com/TLE_Calc"
# Parameters
querystring = {
"tle1": "1 54157U 22141A 24041.75208967 .00002217 00000-0 15730-3 0 9998",

"timestamp": "1713685356"
}
# Headers
headers = {
"X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
"X-RapidAPI-Host": "satellite-position.p.rapidapi.com"
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=querystring)
# Output the response
print(response.json())
