nasa.neo_browse

beta Advanced

Browse the near-earth object catalogue (paged).

GET /v1/nasa/neo_browse

What you get#

A list of Nasa results in Onekey's unified shape, in data (an array). An empty array is a normal, successful answer and is charged like any other; a source that reports "nothing found" as an error returns a free 404 not_found instead.

What it costs#

Advanced · 5 credits for a fresh fetch, charged only when it succeeds.
Free when served from cache (0.2 credit for a cached response over 100 KB).
Free if the request is invalid (never charged) or the source fails or reports not found (refunded).

Parameters#

Name	Type	Required	Default	What it is	Constraints
`size`	string	no	`20`	Rows (1-20)	max 2 chars; must match `[1-9]\|1\d\|20`; trimmed
`page`	string	no	`0`	Page (0-based)	max 4 chars; must match `\d{1,4}`; trimmed

Request#

curl "https://api.onekey.dev/v1/nasa/neo_browse?size=5" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Field mapping#

How this endpoint's source fields become Onekey's unified schema. Fields the source lacks come back as null.

Source path	Onekey field	Transform
`id`	`entity.id`	-
`name`	`entity.name`	-
`absolute_magnitude_h`	`ext.absoluteMagnitude`	`toNumber`
`is_potentially_hazardous_asteroid`	`ext.potentiallyHazardous`	`toBoolean`
`estimated_diameter.kilometers.estimated_diameter_min`	`ext.diameterMinKm`	`toNumber`
`estimated_diameter.kilometers.estimated_diameter_max`	`ext.diameterMaxKm`	`toNumber`
`nasa_jpl_url`	`entity.url`	`safeUrl`
`is_sentry_object`	`ext.sentryObject`	`toBoolean`

Caching and freshness#

Fresh for about 1 hour. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
Between 1 hour and 1 day the cached copy is still served instantly and marked stale: true while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 1 day more (marked stale).
A "not found" is remembered for 5 minutes and is free.
The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

What can go wrong#

Status	Code	What to do
401	`unauthorized`	Check the `x-api-key` header.
402	`insufficient_credits`	Add credits; your balance must cover the price.
404	`not_found`	Unknown endpoint path.
422	`invalid_params`	Fix the parameters using the table above. Free.
429	`rate_limited`	Wait `Retry-After` seconds, then retry.
502	`upstream_error`	The source failed. Refunded; retry with backoff.
