I use the node node-red-contrib-sun-position to have data of sun and moon position but I would like not use this node but an http request ....
How can I sniff the http request sent by the node node-red-contrib-sun-position?
I don't think it does send a request. I think it just calculates it using suncalc3 - npm
Here is an example of how to use suncalc3 in a function node. You add the module in the function nodes setup tab.

p.s could you also change the title to how to get sun and moon positions or similar, as the title does not help others search for what this topic is about.
