Near Earth Object Close Approach Analysis
with NASA
Browse the near-Earth object catalog, resolve one object in detail, and survey its close-approach date.
- Page the overall near-Earth object dataset. The response carries a page block with total_pages and total_elements, which is what drives a catalog sync loop, plus the summary record for each object on the page.
- Look up the first asteroid from the catalog page by its SPK-ID. The lookup returns the full record including estimated diameter, the potentially hazardous flag, and the close-approach data that the next step keys off of.
- Pull the near-Earth object feed for the asteroid's close-approach date, using that date as both the start and end of the window, to see every other object making a close approach the same day. The feed accepts a maximum range of seven days.
What you'll need to have ready
- apiKey: NASA API key from api.nasa.gov. DEMO_KEY works for low-volume testing.
- page: Zero-indexed page of the asteroid catalog to browse.
- size: Number of near-Earth objects to return per catalog page.
