APOD Daily Digest
with NASA
Retrieve the Astronomy Picture of the Day and related NASA archive media.
- Retrieve the Astronomy Picture of the Day entry. thumbs is requested so that video entries still return a usable still image, which matters for any digest that has to render a thumbnail regardless of media type.
- Search the NASA Image and Video Library using the APOD title as the query term to surface archive imagery covering the same subject. The search is restricted to images so the digest gets a directly renderable companion.
- Resolve the related archive item into its asset manifest so the digest can link or download an actual file rather than a collection reference.
What you'll need to have ready
- apiKey: NASA API key from api.nasa.gov. DEMO_KEY works for low-volume testing.
- date: The APOD date to retrieve (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today when omitted.
