🚀 NASA Image and Video Library Scraper

🚀 Export images and videos from the NASA Image and Video Library in seconds. NASA IDs, titles, descriptions, dates, photographers, locations, and asset URLs — direct from the public NASA images API.

The NASA Image and Video Library Scraper turns the NASA Image and Video Library API public endpoint into a clean, structured dataset. It queries the source live, normalizes the response into one row per record, and pushes the result into an Apify dataset you can download or pipe to your warehouse.

Hundreds of thousands of public-domain NASA images, videos, and audio assets are covered in a single run, with stable field names and null-safe parsing.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
🎬 Filmmakers	Source public-domain NASA footage
📰 Journalists	Find verified mission imagery for stories
🎓 Educators	Build space science slide decks
🤖 ML teams	Train vision models on labelled space imagery

📋 What the NASA Image and Video Library Scraper does

• Calls the public NASA Image and Video Library API endpoint with the parameters you supply.
• Parses the response and flattens each record into a single dataset row.
• Casts numeric fields to numbers where applicable for clean spreadsheet imports.
• Surfaces rate-limit or upstream errors as a single-row error record instead of crashing.
• Exports to every Apify dataset format supported in the UI.

💡 Why it matters. The raw NASA Image and Video Library API response is great for API consumers but awkward for spreadsheets and BI tools. This actor normalizes the shape so the data drops straight into pandas, BigQuery, or a Google Sheet.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: asset_url, center, date_created, description, keywords, location, media_type, nasa_id, photographer, results, scrapedAt, title. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know. This actor calls the public NASA Image and Video Library API endpoint with no authentication required. Upstream rate limits apply; if the source returns a limit notice, you will see it as a single error record in your dataset.
