Best way to integrate Blitzortung lightning data into a custom web application? - kaileyketchum - 2026-07-01

Hi everyone,
I'm a web developer, and one of the projects I maintain is a geometrry dash community website with guides and interactive features. As part of improving my development skills, I've been experimenting with different types of real-time data integrations, and Blitzortung is one of the most interesting projects I've come across.
For anyone who has integrated Blitzortung data into a custom website or web application, what approach would you recommend? I'm interested in learning about the best way to retrieve and display the data while keeping performance and bandwidth usage reasonable.
Are there any common pitfalls, caching strategies, or implementation tips that you wish you'd known before getting started? I'd also be interested in hearing how you've structured your applications around Blitzortung data.
I'd appreciate any advice or examples from your own experience. Thanks!
