NASA Near-Earth Objects Scraper

Collect NASA near-Earth asteroid observations for a date range or exact object IDs. Export size estimates, hazard and sentry flags, close-approach timing, velocity, miss distance, orbiting body, and JPL links.

What you get

  • Official NASA NeoWs feed and object lookup data
  • One deduplicated row per near-Earth object
  • Close-approach measurements in practical units
  • Optional potentially hazardous object filtering

Output fields

neo_reference_id, name, absolute_magnitude_h, estimated_diameter_min_km, estimated_diameter_max_km, potentially_hazardous, sentry_object, observed_date, close_approach_date, relative_velocity_kph, miss_distance_km, orbiting_body, nasa_jpl_url, and source_url.

Example output

{"neo_reference_id":"2524474","name":"524474 (2002 KJ3)","estimated_diameter_max_km":0.8129053443,"potentially_hazardous":false,"close_approach_date":"2026-07-20","relative_velocity_kph":16603.2878,"miss_distance_km":28253000.995}

Input parameters

ParameterDescription
startDateFeed start date, or blank for today.
endDateFeed end date, or blank for the start date.
asteroidIdsOptional exact NASA object IDs.
hazardousOnlySave only potentially hazardous objects.
apiKeyOptional NASA API key; blank uses DEMO_KEY.
maxResultsMaximum unique objects to save.

Use cases

Space-data dashboards, education, astronomy research, news monitoring, hazard-watch workflows, and STEM projects.

Limitations

NASA limits feed windows to seven days. DEMO_KEY has low shared request limits; provide a free NASA key for repeated or scheduled runs. Hazard classification is NASA's and is not a prediction of impact.

Compared to alternatives

This Actor starts at $2 per 1,000 objects, below a recent competing Store listing around $3 per 1,000, while exposing normalized close-approach fields. Try the NASA Near-Earth Objects Scraper, browse Thirdwatch Actors, or open the NASA Actor guide.

FAQ

Do I need a NASA key? No for light use; the default is NASA's DEMO_KEY.

What is one billable result? One unique near-Earth object saved to the dataset.
