Integration Notes

Coordinates (critical): ACT returns coordinates as string values in [lat, lng] order, which is the opposite of the GeoJSON [lng, lat] standard. You must swap them and convert from strings to numbers.

Timestamps: Uses "DD Mon YYYY HH:MM:SS.mmm" format with abbreviated month names and optional milliseconds. Requires custom parsing.

Auth: Both feeds are public with no authentication.
