Data Dashboard

A collection of widgets I have created and collated, added to semi-regularly. The Irish Rail, arXiv summaries, GOES Plot, Solar Info and solar images are all live widgets I developed from scratch, pulling from publicly available data. The weather and lunar phase widgets are lightly modified from free, pre-existing widgets.

• Irish Rail Live Irish Rail train information. JavaScript pulls real-time data (~1-minute updates) from a custom API that I built with Flask (Python) and hosted on Google Cloud. The API obtains data from the Irish Rail API XML files. More information and upgrades will be added to this widget in time, this is a miniomum working example.
• The arXiv summaries pull from the arXiv API, filtered to only search and return papers related to solar and stellar flares (ideally with radio data). This provided an at-a-glance summary of daily papers related to my PhD thesis work.
• The weather and lunar phase widgets are pre-built, the only modifications are style and locations.
• The GOES live plot pulls data from the GOES satellite live JSON files. The data are live X-ray flux of the full solar disk. Bright peaks correspond to solar flares, classified from A-X, with X being the most powerful (y-axis). THe plot is a 3-day summary, and is near-realtime. It utilises canvasJS to plot the data.
• The Solar Info again uses JS to pull from a live JSON file, location dependent. The solar images adjacent are near-realtime (-15 mins) NASA SDO AIA images.
