RR freq. in personal website

[w2wml]

Has anyone added RR to their website? Id like to see it before I insert it in mine. Thanks, Bill

When you say add do you mean like link, or an actual API or SDK involvement?

Check the WIKI...
API --> API - The RadioReference Wiki

 

[mtindor]

There are plenty of examples in the Wiki...

check this one: Licking County, Ohio - The RadioReference Wiki

That should give you an idea of how it would be presented should you include it in your own pages. Obviously the Wiki link was created by an individual, but it incorporates some data from the RRDB in the same way the XML-API would.

Mike, I'm afraid you are mixing apples and oranges and coming up with grapefruits, hi. The example you gave uses the wiki extensions to place data on a wiki article (which is internal to RR), not someone's website. As mentioned by a couple of other folks, you would use the API to place data on a personal website. Here's an example from the Scan Virginia website...

Mike,

I'm aware of the differences. I didn't have a specific webpage to demonstrate with, and the Wiki extensions that incorporate the data into the Wiki I think do essentially the same thing - so I gave that as an example.

Here is an example if somebody wants to look at a totally generic dump of RRDB data into a plain HTML page on a website:

http://www.ovscan.com/example.html

Compare that to the wiki link I sent above and I think you'll see the data looks virtually identical whether it be incorporated into a wiki article using wiki extensions or whether it be incorporated into a webpage using the XML-API. I think my original example was apropros.

Wow, that was only like 3 lines of code behind that, I can see the advantage especially on an ever-changing system, etc.

Thoughts on import.. and questions.. ;-)

I also cranked one up last night at LOCAL SCANNING INFORMATION , but would like to NOT have the input frequencies showing (for obvious reasons), yet they are there even when the page that was used for selection had input frequencies DE-selected.

Also on other pages, like for a large city or some counties, I can get all the the groups and ID's, but cannot get or find the Import-ID code that will show the EDACS frequencies - there are "Import" ID's for everyhing BUT the frequencies section. Perhaps there is a technical reason for that? or Policy? :-0>

Or just not digging down far enough..??

Help kindly accepted! ;-)

Tom,

I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly.... But if I am, take a look at the RadioReference Remote Render API page (linked off of the RR homepage).

Also - see my example - http://www.ovscan.com/example2.html

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to do one of the two things in my example. If that is not correct, please provide more detail including the system you are wanting to display data from.

Q&A session

OK - I have been using the API page as a "bible" for the process, but perhaps I missed something ; Let's take, for example, Orange county/Orlando area:

Scanner Frequencies: Orange County Trunking System, Orlando, Florida

There is no place *I* can find that will give me the ID to display the "System Frequencies" on a remote page, the "Talkgroup" section has the blue triangle leading to an ID for the remote page, but "System Frequencies" does not. Even tried the "-205" SID as "siteId" but no joy. NO problem on the few others I have linked to, but why Orange County?

That help my query, i.e. to define it better?

Tom,

I tried it and it worked fine. First I displayed just Zellwood - listed as site 002 (SiteID = 202 = UniqueID for Zellwood). Then I displayed all sites (Sites = 205 = SID).

http://www.ovscan.com/example3.html

The code:

http://www.ovscan.com/example3.txt

Let me ask you this -- did you sign up for a key? You have to use a key that is specific to your site. For instance, you can't post my code in example3.txt into an HTML file on _your_ website because it won't work. You must obtain a key first per the instructions, and that key has to be tied to your site.

<snip> - duplicate

 

[mtindor]

Ex: In my "Account" off of the main RR page, if I click on API, I see:

http://ovscan.com 28702560 Active 56

So the key 28702560 is tied to http://ovscan.com. If it gets served from www.isuckathtml.com, it won't work.

If there are multiple sites in the system (such as the one you referenced), if you want to get the uniqueID for that, then click on the site, such as 002 (2) Zellwood .

Then you'll see:

Unique DB Site ID: 202

Use that 202 ID in the properly formatted line that ends with SiteID=


If you want to display all the sites, use the properly formatted example in the "bible" and for the SID use 205 (you already figured that out) -- SID=205

Dumb and Dumber.. ;-)

Mike - Apologize for taking your time - I intially was working with a link that had a mistake, but as a "search and destroy" typist, I copy the link-html to the next trial line and propagated the "sitid" parameter along with the rest.. changed to "siteId" (capital "I")
and off we went.. Hoo..boy.. One CAN get stuck deep in mud, no? )

THANKS for your help - looking carefully at your examples made that capitalization eror pop out!

Tom,

Glad I could help. Nothing dumb about the problem you were having. Sometimes we all need a second set of eyes cuz the ones we have just aren't seeing things. Been happening to me ever since hit 40 rofl.

That is Awesome. I had no idea you could link to RR like that. When the RR DB updates, do those pages update automatically?

 

[mtindor]

Yes it does. Using the XML API causes the latest data to pulled directly from RR's database and inserted into your own site.
