The API is accessible via a route that works via any of the catalog domains, https://api.astrocats.space/ where the only difference is preference in catalog when returning items that appear on multiple catalogs. For the examples below we will (usually) use the api.astrocats.space route. By default, all returned values are provided in JSON format, unless a format= URL variable is provided. General use The pattern for the API is one of the domains listed above (e.g. https://api.astrocats.space ) followed by /OBJECT/QUANTITY/ATTRIBUTE?ARGUMENT1=VALUE1&ARGUMENT2=VALUE2&... where OBJECT is set to a transient's name, QUANTITY is set to a desired quantity to retrieve (e.g. redshift), ATTRIBUTE is a property of that quantity, and the ARGUMENT variables allow to user to filter data based upon various attribute values. The ARGUMENT variables can either be used to guarantee that a certain attribute appears in the returned results (e.g. adding &time&e magnitude to the query will guarantee that each returned item has a time and e magnitude attribute), or used to filter via a simple equality such as telescope=HST (which would only return QUANTITY objects where the telescope attribute equals \"HST\" ), or they can be more powerful for certain filter attributes (examples being ra and dec for performing","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/astrocatalogs","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/astrocatalogs/OACAPI/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
