IITC Plugin: Glympse

Integrates the Ability to view Glympse tags into IITC.

Usage

• If you haven't already, install IITC-CE (Desktop or Mobile)
• Install the Plugin with This link
• Open IITC-CE and specify the plugin's settings
• As described in the settings dialog, you have two ways to acquire the necessary Glympse API token:

  1. Create a Glympse Developer account and make a 30-day trial API token (this is more ToS compliant than variant ii.)

  2. • Open a new Browser tab and open your Browser's Developer tools (try pressing the F12 key).
     • Switch to the 'Network' tab.
     • Now open the URL https://glympse.com/![GlympseTag], replacing [GlympseTag] with a valid Glympse tag.
     • Search the Network tab for a request to https://api.glympse.com/v2/account/login
     • Use the username, password and api_key specified in the request

     This Method is strongly against Glympse's Terms of service. proceed at your own risk.

• If you have a username, password and API token filled in, you can continue by entering the Glympse tag you want to view, optionally adapting the update interval that is 5 seconds by default.
• If everything is set up, just click 'Save' and the real-time locations should start to appear on the map.
• If you want to turn the plugin off, just disable the 'Glympse' layer in IITC.
