Planets API
Physical and orbital data for the solar system and beyond: every planet, dwarf planet, major moon and the Sun with NASA fact-sheet values (mass, radius, surface gravity, density, escape velocity, mean temperature, orbital and rotation period, semi-major axis, moon count and rings), plus a searchable catalogue of more than 6,000 confirmed exoplanets from the NASA Exoplanet Archive (radius, mass, orbital period, equilibrium temperature, distance in light-years, host star, discovery year and method). Filter exoplanets by host star, discovery method, year, size or distance, compare solar-system bodies side by side, and look up any single body or exoplanet by name. Every endpoint accepts input via the query string or the request body and returns lean JSON. Pure server-side data (no third-party upstream), so responses are instant and always available. Ideal for education, EdTech, astronomy apps, data visualisation and science tools.

Astronomy API
A fast, fully-local astronomy and ephemeris engine: compute the equatorial (right-ascension/declination) and horizontal (azimuth/altitude) positions of the Sun, Moon and all planets for any observer and moment, get precise rise, set and transit (culmination) times for any body, read detailed lunar state (phase angle, named phase, illuminated fraction, apparent magnitude, geocentric distance, age since the last new moon and the dates of the next new/first-quarter/full/last-quarter moons), and list the exact equinoxes and solstices of any year. Every endpoint accepts input via the query string or the request body. Pure server-side computation (no third-party upstream), so responses are instant and always available. Ideal for weather and tide apps, astrophotography planners, calendars, solar/energy tools, Islamic and lunar calendars, and education.

Nobel Prize API
Browse Nobel Prizes by year and category — physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, peace and economics — with laureates and their official citations, and look up laureate profiles by name or id with birth details and every prize won. Great for education, trivia, research and history apps.

NASA Images API
Search the NASA Image and Video Library — Apollo, Hubble, Mars rovers, the ISS and decades of mission imagery — and fetch the asset file URLs in every resolution for any item. Great for space, education, media, wallpaper and museum apps. All NASA media is public domain.

SpaceX API
Latest, next and recent SpaceX launches with mission details, success status, mission patches, webcasts and articles, a single-launch lookup by id, and the full rocket fleet with specs, success rates and imagery. Great for space dashboards, trackers, education and hobby projects.
