🚀 Launch Library 2 Rocket Launches Scraper

🚀 Export the global rocket launch manifest in seconds. Track every upcoming and historical orbital launch across all major providers (SpaceX, ULA, Roscosmos, ISRO, ESA, CASC, Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, Arianespace, Northrop Grumman, JAXA, Firefly, Relativity, and more). No login, no API key, no manual schedule wrangling.

The Launch Library 2 Rocket Launches Scraper pulls the community-maintained Launch Library 2 catalog, curated by The Space Devs network of spaceflight enthusiasts and analysts, and returns 70 fields per launch, including launch name, status, NET window, rocket configuration, mission details, pad coordinates, agencies, programs, weather concerns, and full provider profiles with success/failure tallies. Launch Library 2 is the reference open dataset behind dozens of community apps including Go4Liftoff, Space Launch Now, and Next Spaceflight.

The catalog covers every active orbital launch provider worldwide, both upcoming and historical, including SpaceX, United Launch Alliance, Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, Arianespace, Northrop Grumman, Roscosmos, CASC, ISRO, JAXA, MHI, Firefly Aerospace, Relativity Space, Astra Space, Galactic Energy, CAS Space, LandSpace, and more. This Actor exports the manifest as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML. Filter by provider, country, status, search term, or launch window, all server-side.

📋 What the Launch Library 2 Scraper does

Six filtering workflows in a single run:

• 🔭 Upcoming or historical mode. Pull the forward manifest, or the past success/failure record.
• 🆔 Single-launch lookup. Fetch one launch by its UUID for deep-dive enrichment.
• 🏢 Provider filter. Restrict to one launch service provider (SpaceX, ULA, ISRO, ESA, etc.).
• 🌍 Country filter. Restrict to one launch site country (USA, RUS, CHN, IND, FRA, JPN, GBR, NZL, etc.).
• 🚦 Status filter. Go for Launch, TBD, TBC, Hold, In Flight, Success, Failure, or Partial Failure.
• 📅 Window filter. Bound the search to a custom NET window (start ≥ X, end ≤ Y) and sort by NET or last-updated.

Each launch carries the rocket name, family, full configuration, mission name and description, orbit and inclination class, pad coordinates and country, location timezone, launch attempt counts (all-time and current year, by provider, location, pad, and orbital), program memberships, hashtag, weather concerns, and live-webcast flag.

💡 Why it matters: the launch manifest moves daily as missions slip, scrub, or get added. Building your own pipeline means polling, deduping, and reconciling status changes. This Actor delivers a clean per-launch record on every run, ready for calendars, dashboards, or alerting.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: agencyLaunchAttemptCount, agencyLaunchAttemptCountYear, detailUrl, failReason, hashtag, holdReason, imageUrl, infographicUrl, lastUpdated, launchId, launchServiceProviderAbbrev, launchServiceProviderCountry, launchServiceProviderFailedLaunches, launchServiceProviderFoundingYear, launchServiceProviderInfoUrl, launchServiceProviderLogoUrl, launchServiceProviderName, launchServiceProviderPendingLaunches, launchServiceProviderSuccessfulLaunches, launchServiceProviderTotalLaunches, launchServiceProviderType, launchServiceProviderWikiUrl, launchType, locationCountryCode, locationLaunchAttemptCount, locationLaunchAttemptCountYear, locationName, locationTimezone, locationTotalLandingCount, locationTotalLaunchCount, missionAgencies, missionDescription, missionName, missionType, mode, name, net, netPrecision, orbitAbbrev, orbitName. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
