Geobin

Inspect HTTP Requests with Geographic Data.

Geobin allows you to create a temporary URL to collect and inspect JSON requests that contain geographic data. Inspect the headers and body of a request and view any geographic data parsed out of the body on a map.

You can also receive data in real time. As long as your browser supports WebSockets, once you're looking at a geobin, new data will be streamed directly to the browser and any found geographic data will be mapped instantly.

Hat tip to RequestBin for inspiration.

Running Geobin locally

Requirements:

• go
• node
• redis

Here is the short version of how to get Geobin up and running locally, assuming you have a functional go environment, node environment, and redis server already set up on your machine.

1. go get Geobin

> go get github.com/esripdx/geobin.io

2. Run the setup scripts

> cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/esripdx/geobin.io
> make setup # (runs `go get -t` and `npm install`)

3. Copy/Edit config.json

> cp config.json.dist config.json
> vim config.json # Optional, the defaults will work for running locally and connecting to a local redis on the default port

4. Run the server

> make run

You're up and running, have fun! Try opening http://localhost:8080 in a browser and clicking the "Create a New Geobin" button. Then run the following in a console while keeping an eye on your browser:

> curl -i -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @gtCallback.json http://localhost:8080/BIN_ID

How do we find geographic data?

We look for valid GeoJSON. If no GeoJSON is detected, we'll also look for the following properties:

Latitude & Longitude

• expected format:

{
  "latitude": 0,
  "longitude": 0
}

• accepted keys:
  • Latitude:
    • lat
    • latitude
    • y
  • Longitude:
    • lng
    • lon
    • long
    • longitude
    • x

Radius (in meters)

• expected format:

{
  "latitude": 0,
  "longitude": 0,
  "radius": 0
}

• accepted keys:
  • dst
  • dist
  • distance
  • rad
  • radius
  • acc
  • accuracy

Coordinates

• expected format:

{
  "coords": [0,0] // (x (longitude), y (latitude))
}

• accepted keys:
  • geo
  • loc
  • location
  • coord
  • coordinate
  • coords
  • coordinates
