MMM-MarineTraffic??

[adrian.k]

Hi!
Im working in the shipping industry and follows a lot of vessels sailing to and from some ports in the areas that Im working.

Is there anyone who can look into making a module for MarineTraffic? It would be cool if you could have a small map on the mirror, and once one vessel (or more) are sailing in the map you have set it to, you can see the vessels name and icon.

Please see picture for further explanation.

FYI:
I know that they have an API key available upon request, but I dont know if this is free or not…

@adrian-k its not free. Says ‘Request a quote’

@adrian-k . did you see, you can implement a map via HTML in your own webside…create a local one at the folder “modules”…see here: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/p/embed-map

Yeah I saw that. However, I have sent them a request about the above and have been informed that they will get back to me tomorrow.

Yeah I have seen that as well, but I imagine that it would be hard to hide the “frame” around the map instead of displaying just a map without any other details.

Started playing with the suggestion by @adrian-k.

However, errors galore in the dev console. Module seems to still work. Will play some more tomorrow.

@Mykle1 there are some CORS proxies to work around the rejections

@adrian-k here an example how it can look, if you store this HTML

in your modules-folder and display it in your mirror:

That looks really good, I will definitley look more into it and try to implement it into my mirror!
Thank you for all the help so far guys.
