NASA Data Scraper 🚀

Fetch data from free NASA public APIs — no API key required.

What it does

This Actor queries three different NASA APIs and outputs structured JSON with images, descriptions, dates, and more.

Modes

Mode	API	What you get
APOD	Astronomy Picture of the Day	Daily astronomy image, title, explanation, HD URL
NEO	Near Earth Objects	Asteroids/comets approaching Earth — diameter, velocity, miss distance, hazard status
Image Search	NASA Image/Video Library	Search across NASA's entire media library

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
`mode`	enum	`apod`	One of: `apod`, `neo`, `image_search`
`api_key`	string	`DEMO_KEY`	NASA API key. DEMO_KEY works but rate-limited (30 req/hr). Get free key at https://api.nasa.gov for 1000 req/hr.
`date`	string	(today)	Date for APOD in YYYY-MM-DD (apod mode only)
`neoMode`	enum	`feed`	`feed` (date-range approach data) or `browse` (full catalog)
`startDate`	string	(today)	Start date for NEO feed YYYY-MM-DD (neo mode, feed)
`endDate`	string	(+7 days)	End date for NEO feed (max 7 days, neo mode, feed)
`query`	string	`mars`	Search term for NASA Image/Video Library
`media_type`	enum	`image`	Media type: image, video, audio
`maxPages`	integer	`1`	Max pages to fetch (neo browse / image_search)
