why is every API for space-related data complete garbage. the NASA ones I tried literally just 404
2 2Samuelthe only decent looking one was like $700/month and the more I looked for alternatives, the more I understood their value proposition
Bill LummisThe JWST ones aren't terrible I think? jwstapi.com

Do you happen to have any info for this case?

Jonathan McDowellThe main sources are space-track.org and celestrak - I use the space-track.org API. It works for me but my use case is likely different from yours
1 2SamuelI found space-track but wasn’t sure about it - I’ll give it a try, thanks
1Jonathan McDowellThe trick with the api there is you have to make one call to set the password cookie and then a second call to get the actual data
1 1Bill LummisAh that I don't know
