I made this APRS API demo awhile back. Could be used for fun and or profit

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.js"></script>
<script>


// call the api and update 
for(var i=0; i<5; i++) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        // aprs.fi doesn't appear to support CORS so use jsonp proxy
        var myquery = encodeURIComponent('select * from json where url="http://api.aprs.fi/api/get?name=KE0BVB-11&what=loc&apikey=76956.nqwpsBsmbGoBC&format=json"');
        $.ajax({
            method: 'GET',
            url: 'http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q='+ myquery +'&format=json&callback=?',
            dataType: 'jsonp',
            success: function(data) {
                var entry = data.query.results.json.entries;
                $('p').append(entry.altitude+"<br/>");

                //ideas: 
                //put little balloon on screen,y-coordinate is proportional to altitude
            }
        });
    }, i*5000);
}

It seems to have to use JSONP via yahoo proxy since aprs doesn't accept cross-origin requests directly, but haven't validated that completely
