The root fcc package provides the data structures necessary for parsing the
amateur-relevant portion of the FCC license database that is provided as a
1GB+ csv file.
cmd/fcc2bolt is a console application that reads the zipfile of the FCC dump,
parses it, and inserts active amateur licenses into a boltDB store.
cmd/fccdb is a console application for doing name and address lookups of
FCC-issued amateur callsigns.
The fcc package can be used as-is. To download and ingest the FCC database,
this software requires curl, make, and the go toolchain.
make help provides all options in the Makefile.
make will build the cmd binaries, download the FCC dataset, and perform
the boltdb ingestion.
sudo make install will copy fccdb and fccd to /usr/local/bin/ and the fcc.db
database to /usr/share/fccdb.
fccd listens on port 8080, and picks up a non-default DB location from the FCCDB
environment variable.
Lookups against the fccd API can be made in the format:
/license/<FCC CALLSIGN>
From the console:
curl http://localhost:8080/license/kj6cbe
The expected result:
{ "Name": "Lehtonen, Lars A", "Address": "1727 Glendale Blvd", "City": "Los Angeles", "State": "CA", "ZIP": "90026" }
