Dinosaurs API

healthy 3,598 Subscribers

Explore 4,100+ dinosaur genera from the Paleobiology Database. For each dinosaur get the geologic period it lived in (Triassic, Jurassic or Cretaceous), its age range in millions of years, the stratigraphic intervals and who first named it. Look one up by name, search the catalogue, filter by period, or get a random dinosaur — perfect for education apps, games, quizzes and museum tooling.

Isotopes API — oanor API marketplace

Isotopes API

Atomic isotope reference data as an API, built on the NIST Atomic Weights and Isotopic Compositions. For every known nuclide: its element (atomic number Z and symbol), mass number, relative atomic mass, natural isotopic composition (abundance) and the element's standard atomic weight. Look an isotope up by label (C-12, U-238) or by symbol + mass, list every isotope of an element, rank isotopes by mass or natural abundance, or search. A precise physics and chemistry reference for science, education, lab and engineering apps. Distinct from element-level data.

 Meteorites API — oanor API marketplace

Meteorites API

NASA's catalogue of 45,000+ meteorites recovered on Earth as an API. For each meteorite: its name, NASA id, classification (recclass, e.g. L5, Iron), mass in grams, whether it was seen to fall or simply found, the year, and the latitude/longitude where it was recovered. Look one up by name or id, find the meteorites NEAR any coordinate (great-circle distance), rank by mass or year, list a classification or year, or search. Great for space, education, mapping and museum apps. Distinct from asteroids and close-approach data — these are rocks already on the ground.

 Constellations API — oanor API marketplace

Constellations API

The 88 modern IAU constellations as an API — the reference an astronomy app, planetarium or education tool needs. For each constellation: its official IAU abbreviation, English name, the Latin genitive used when naming stars (e.g. "Alpha Andromedae"), a size rank, the approximate centre in equatorial coordinates (right ascension / declination) and the constellation name in roughly 25 languages. Look one up by abbreviation or name, search across every language, find which constellation a sky position falls nearest to, or list them all. Distinct from stars-api (individual stars) — this is the reference for the constellations themselves. Served from memory — always fast.

 Observatory Codes API — oanor API marketplace

Observatory Codes API

The IAU Minor Planet Center list of observatory codes as an API — every site the MPC uses to identify a telescope when it publishes astrometric observations of asteroids and comets. For each of 2,700+ codes: the 3-character code, the observatory name, its east longitude and the parallax constants (rho·cos φ', rho·sin φ'). From those constants the API derives each site's geocentric latitude and a -180..180 longitude, so you can find the observatories nearest any point on Earth with a great-circle (haversine) search. Look one up by code, search by name, list them all, or find the closest sites to a latitude/longitude. Distinct from telescope-api (optics maths) — this is the registry of real observing sites and where they are. Served from memory — always fast.
