Rainmeter Forums

Hi,

first of all, i'm new to rainmeter, so my question may be very stupid.
I have seen a few skins which show the weather, and therefore can get information from online.
I was wondering if it would be possible to get information from the following website:
http://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html
It's NASA's communication with satellites, probes and rovers using the Deep Space Network.
Is it possible to get a list of all the connected spacecraft and show it using rainmeter?

Thanks in advance

Usually getting information online indeed is not a hard task for Rainmeter, but if I'm not wrong, the site you've posted uses java scripts. In such cases, the task is much harder, close to impossible. Or effectively impossible.

Actually if website uses javascript then you just need to find API.

R is optional, but i that is some kind of timestamp or request cound since they are sent every second.

Sorry for the late reply.
Although I didn't have enough time to check it deeply, if aragonnetje6 is still interested, I think NegativeIQ's URL could be used to get the needed information.
So aragonnetje6, are you still interested?
