PySpace¶
PySpace is an easy, simple but powerful library for NASA APIs.
Important
The purpose of this library is to make the exploration of our universe fun and most importantly, easy!
We offer:¶
Full coverage on the supported APIs: Currently we do not support all the NASA.gov APIs. Although on the ones we support, we provide full coverage.

External APIs |
|---|---|
APOD |
Visual Crossing Weather API |
Mars Rover Pictures |

Note
Keep in mind that this list will change overtime. - If you have any suggestions on what API we should add/remove please feel free to contact us
Extra-capable methods for result storing and visualization: We provide methods that allow external result manipulation. (For example, our earth_imagery() method lets you save the image into a directory of your desire and even returns a NumPy Array of the pixel values that opens the way for advanced image annotation using third-party libraries such as OpenCV). As we are mentioning below this helps users create awesome projects.(Visualization methods are comming soon in
v.2.0.0 BETA)Tons of possible usages of our library: The variety of methods we offer opens the way for users to combine our library and their imagination to create awesome projects!
Easy to read error handling: afraid of facing errors? Not any-more! We took care of this by transforming the tracebacks and providing you straight to the point-answers!
Easy to read outputs: data returned from each request are really easy to read!
API-strict naming: we follow strictly the naming style of each endpoint from the official NASA.gov documentation. Therefore, no more confusion for our users on what method to use.
Downsides?¶
As we mentioned above, we have lots to offer. Although since this project is still in BETA we do not provide full-coverage on the NASA.gov APIs.
