## Embedding Spothole in another website

You can embed Spothole's web interface in another website, e.g. for use as part of a ham radio custom dashboard.

URL parameters can be used to trigger an "embedded" mode which hides the headers, footers and settings. In this mode,
you provide configuration for the various filter and display options via additional URL parameters. Any settings that
the user has set for Spothole are ignored. This is so that the embedding site can select, for example, their choice of
dark mode or SIG filters, which will not impact how Spothole appears when the user accesses it directly. Effectively, it
becomes separate to their normal Spothole settings.

Setting `embedded` to true is important for the rest of the settings to be applied; otherwise, the user's defaults will
be used in preference to the URL params.

These are supplied with the URL to the page you want to embed, for example for an embedded version of the band map in
dark mode, use `https://spothole.app/bands?embedded=true&dark-mode=true`. For an embedded version of the main spots/home
page in the system light/dark mode, use `https://spothole.app/?embedded=true`. For dark mode showing 70cm TOTA spots
only, use `https://spothole.app/?embedded=true&dark-mode=true&sig=TOTA&band=70cm`. Providing no URL params causes the
page to be loaded in the normal way it would when accessed directly in the user's browser.

The supported parameters are as follows. Generally these match the equivalent parameters in the real Spothole API, where
a mapping exists.
