Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm currently running the OwnTracks stack (Android, recorder, frontend), and I'd like to give Reitti a go. I've thrown a GPX at it initially to get some data to play with, but going forward I'd want data pulled in regularly. OwnTracks on Android does not appear to support submitting points to multiple servers though, and I'd like to keep OwnTracks recorder running for now.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally, OwnTracks to collect the data, and Reitti to pull the data from OwnTracks recorder's API. I'm not sure how similar this is to the data received directly from the Android app.

Describe alternatives you've considered

OwnTracks recorder stores its data in plain text files which could alternatively be parsed (and even watched for changes via inotify), though when running individual services as separate UNIX users this makes permissions a bit tricky.
