NASA Open APIs https://api.nasa.gov/ ↗

Why it worked

The video provides valuable, free data access to a well-known entity (NASA) and a topic of general interest (asteroids). It clearly demonstrates how to use the API with practical examples, making complex information accessible and actionable for developers.

Summary

The video showcases the NASA Open APIs portal, specifically highlighting the Asteroids NeoWs API. It demonstrates how users can access free data on near-Earth objects, including their proximity, size, and potential hazard status, by using example queries and modifying dates.

Free NASA Asteroid API ✅ Curious how close asteroids are coming to earth and how fast they’re moving/how large they are? This API from NASA can give you all of the info for free, and there’s plenty of other data available too! Follow for more free coding resources ✅ #code #coding #Tech #learntocode #data

Did you know that if you come to this URL here, you can get free API access to a whole bunch of NASA data. And there are APIs for a whole bunch of things here. For example, if you want to check out objects that are near Earth, you can use this asteroids API and it even gives you an example query, and if I just changed the dates for this to be more recent, I can get a JSON response for all the near Earth objects from July 1st to July 8. And this even tells you if that object is a potentially hazardous asteroid along with all kinds of other information on that asteroid. And this is just scraping the surface. There are a ton of different API that you you can play around with here. And the best part is it's all free. Make sure you drop a follow for more free coding resources.
