## But why?

- NASA used to host this [APOD page](https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/) together with an API service, to get the metadata. (had some API usage limits and API keys)

- Due to federal funding issues it's down from 1st Oct 2025

- Found [this service](http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~apod/apod/) hosted by **The UCL Astrophysics Group**. But they don't have an API endpoint.

- This service, scrape cache and serve the same as an API endpoint giving source mentions.

- NASA previously hosted the [Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) page](https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/) along with an API service that provided metadata. (The API required keys and the demo-one had usage limits.)

- I found an alternative mirror hosted by **The UCL Astrophysics Group**: [http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~apod/apod/](http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~apod/apod/). However, this mirror does not provide an API endpoint.
