Add support for other location services than MLS #79

Open mjaakko opened 1 month ago

mjaakko commented 1 month ago

Currently data can only be sent to services which implement an API that is compatible with MLS Geosubmit. Investigate adding support for other location services, such as OpenCellID for cell towers

The user would be able to configure the type of endpoint and its parameters (API key etc.) in the settings

Would it be worth maintaining some kind of list of MLS compatible servers?

microG just shared the existence of positon.xyz. That's really the only one I know though.

joelkoen commented 3 weeks ago

I'm hosting beaconDB but it's experimental and there's barely any coverage.

lucasmz-dev commented 3 weeks ago

so far I haven't seen any that does IPv6 :/ MLS was the same too, IPv4 only

dimaguy commented 3 days ago

Given more than a single endpoint (like positon and beacondb) is appearing to try and replace MLS, it'd be nice if NeoStumbler allowed to input more URLs to send reports to

lucasmz-dev commented 2 days ago

@dimaguy atm a work around is to change the endpoint and use the reupload data option

positon does not accept submissions, though. https://positon.xyz/docs/api/geosubmit/

Sounds a bit clunky for something that's supposed to be running automatically in the background, but sure that works

joelkoen commented 2 days ago

This is a good idea, providing data to both services doesn't hurt, and is better for the community.

I've created another issue for sending data to multiple endpoints, #124
