You must provide the base url for your ADS-B feeder,
E.g., localhost:8080 or 192.x.x.x:8080
Optional: provide base_latitude and base_longitude, which can be the
coordinates of your receiver. By providing base coordinates, each aircraft 
message will be augmented with additional info, including distance from base
coordinates, and direction. Nearest aircraft will be identified, and additional
external info will be retrieved, e.g. registration, image
