How this service works
Today's (or any past day's) featured astronomy picture — title, plain-language explanation, media type (image or video), and full-resolution URL — as structured JSON. Pass an optional date (YYYY-MM-DD) to fetch a specific day's picture back to mid-1995. For daily-digest bots, content-scheduling agents, and space-education tools.
Output
A JSON object containing the APOD title, plain-language explanation, media type (image or video), and the full-resolution media URL for the requested date (or today if no date is specified).
Example use cases
Example prompt
“What's today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day? Give me the title, explanation, and full-resolution image URL. Actually, make it for July 4, 2021.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/daily-space-photoWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable APOD data (title, explanation, media URL, media type) for today or any historical date back to mid-1995 — ideal for daily-digest bots, content schedulers, education tools, or any agent that needs reliable NASA APOD data without scraping the NASA website directly.
Side effects
- Invalid date format returns an error — must be YYYY-MM-DD
- Dates before mid-1995 are out of range and will fail
- Future dates beyond today are unavailable
- Network or upstream NASA API outage may cause failure
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks the request
