Setup
Live in seven steps
First, navigate to the "Sources" tab on the Airbyte dashboard.
Click on the "Add Source" button and select "NASA" from the list of available connectors.
Enter your NASA API key in the "API Key" field. If you do not have an API key, you can obtain one by following the instructions on the NASA API website.
Next, enter the start and end dates for the data you wish to retrieve in the "Start Date" and "End Date" fields.
Choose the data you wish to retrieve by selecting the appropriate checkboxes under "Data Types". You can choose from a variety of data types, including Earth Observations, Mars Rover Photos, and Near Earth Objects.
Once you have entered all the necessary information, click the "Test" button to ensure that your credentials are valid and that Airbyte can connect to the NASA API.
If the test is successful, click the "Save" button to save your NASA source connector. You can now use this connector to extract data from NASA and integrate it with other data sources in Airbyte.
Configuration fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| api_key* | string | API access key used to retrieve data from the NASA APOD API. |
| concept_tags | boolean | Indicates whether concept tags should be returned with the rest of the response. The concept tags are not necessarily included in the explanation, but rather derived from common search tags that are associated with the description text. (Better than just pure text search.) Defaults to False. |
| count | integer | A positive integer, no greater than 100. If this is specified then count randomly chosen images will be returned in a JSON array. Cannot be used in conjunction with date or start_date and end_date. |
| end_date | string | Indicates that end of a date range. If start_date is specified without an end_date then end_date defaults to the current date. |
| start_date | string | Indicates the start of a date range. All images in the range from start_date to end_date will be returned in a JSON array. Must be after 1995-06-16, the first day an APOD picture was posted. There are no images for tomorrow available through this API. |
| thumbs | boolean | Indicates whether the API should return a thumbnail image URL for video files. If set to True, the API returns URL of video thumbnail. If an APOD is not a video, this parameter is ignored. |
Hybrid deployment
Sovereign by architecture, not by policy.
The data plane runs in your environment. Records, credentials and keys stay with you; the control plane only receives configuration and job metadata.
