ah I’m specifically after satellite orbit data

why is every API for space-related data complete garbage. the NASA ones I tried literally just 404

The JWST ones aren't terrible I think? jwstapi.com

Ping @planet4589.bsky.social Do you happen to have any info for this case?

The 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

I found space-track but wasn’t sure about it - I’ll give it a try, thanks

The 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

yeah… that’s a bit of a bummer. Would be much more convenient to just use an API key

Ah that I don't know
