How to register/update your service?

The service registry API documentation is here: API Documentation

You can do so programmatically, by sending an HTTP POST to the following address.

https://aprs.hemna.com/api/v1/registry

with the following JSON contents in the body of the POST request.
    {"callsign": "Your service callsign here.",
     "description": "The description of your service here.",
     "service_website": "The URL of your service here.",
     "software": "The service software and version here"}
    

example

    {"callsign": "REPEAT",
     "description": "Find the nearest N repeaters to your current location",
     "service_website": "http://aprs-repeat.hemna.com",
     "software": "APRSD version 3.3.0"}
    

Send a registry with curl like this

    curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"callsign": "REPEAT", "description": "Find the nearest N repeaters to your current location", "service_website": "http://aprs-repeat.hemna.com", "software": "APRSD version 3.3.0"}' https://aprs.hemna.com/api/v1/registry
    

Using APRSD

If you are using APRSD python daemon version 3.3.0 and greater, as your APRS Service, you can simply enable the aprs registry feature.

You can enable the registry feature in your aprsd.conf config file by adding the new aprs_registry section.

Example

        [aprs_registry]
        # Enable the automatic registry feature
        enable = true
        # The description of your service
        description = My service does X, Y, and Z.
        # The URL of your service
        service_website = http://myaprsservice.com
        # Every 900 seconds (15 minutes) the registry will be updated.
        frequency_seconds = 900
