Inputs
- latitude (required) — Decimal degrees, positive North
- longitude (required) — Decimal degrees, positive East
- altitudeMetres (required) — Observer altitude above MSL in metres
- dateTimeUTCstr (required) — Date and time UTC, e.g. 25-Oct-2025 14:18:39
Output shape
A list of items, each containing the raw API response (JSON object) with sun calculations.
The exact shape of the returned JSON depends on the teckel platform's API response.
Examples
Example 1: Calculate sun position and elevation for London at a specific UTC time.
Set latitude to 51.5, longitude to -0.12, altitude to 0, and dateTimeUTCstr to 25-Oct-2025 14:18:39.
Example 2: Determine light conditions at a mountain airport at sunrise.
Set latitude and longitude to the airport's coordinates, altitude to the runway elevation, and dateTimeUTCstr to the sunrise time.
