Positions of brightest stars do not change with time (apart from a very smal fraction that has a significant proper motion – but even then, displacement is small). Hence coordinates of brightest stars are basically fixed numbers (for a given epoch). Hence SwiftAA will be of no help here.
I can recommend many places to look for, but I'll starty with mine:
https://www.arcsecond.io/objects to look for objects information.
https://www.arcsecond.io/iobserve (to actually prepare observations depending on date, position etc...)
If you are willing to script things or make APIs request, I'd suggest to use our APIs: https://api.arcsecond.io (also available through a Python CI/module).

Thanks for the quick response.
I'll dig around. I was actually looking for an easy way to get the position in terms of the current azimuth and elevation.

I am doing these kind of software since more than 10 years now. I think your best bet is iObserve on the web https://www.arcsecond.io/iobserve :-)
You'll get easy access to any object (or manual ones) you import, with precise altitude, tracking and position at any moment during the night.
You can see a detailed screenshot on the front page of arcsecond.io
