Interesting discussion

It's a discussion on whether we're allowed to use JPL Horizons as a reliable source or it's unpublished original research WP:OR. --RoyGoldsmith (talk) 17:24, 30 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Obsolete CGI vs API

edit

https://ssd-api.jpl.nasa.gov/obsolete/horizons_batch_cgi.html for converting CGI to API.

  • CGI: https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons_batch.cgi?batch=1
  • API: https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/api/horizons.api?format=text -- Kheider (talk) 17:57, 27 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Numbered comets: api/horizons.api?format=text&COMMAND=%27DES%3D153P%3BCAP for "Closest APparition" record to the current date
