Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://nasa-x402.vercel.app/nasa/images?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs to find real NASA space imagery, historical mission photos, or astronomical images by keyword — it provides direct access to NASA's canonical 140,000+ item archive with thumbnails and metadata, making it ideal for any space-related visual content discovery task.
Side effects
- Missing required 'q' query parameter returns an error
- Empty result set when query matches no archived items
- Limit value exceeding 100 may be clamped or cause an error
- Network timeout if NASA's upstream image library API is slow
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
