Hello! Have been a great fan of Telescopius, and I’m wondering how can I get an API key to use the data here for a personal astronomy project that I have?
Basically, I would love to have access to the “suggestionsForTonight” data at https://telescopius.com/api!
Hi James, welcome to the forum!
I’m planning to release a new API towards the end of the year, including a free tier for personal use.
Unfortunately, the current API is not documented and I cannot guarantee any support if someone uses it, but if you manage to understand it feel free to use it for non-commercial purposes. Just bear in mind as soon as I release the new API (which will be announced) this one will be deprecated, to be removed some time during 2022.
I would also be greatly interested in using your API to retrieve data. Looking forward to the update!
Unfortunately I’m quite a bit behind of the public API release but rest assured I’ll announce it as soon as it’s ready 
@sebagr Hello ! Thank you for this wonderful site! Do you have any news on the public API release?
Thank you! 
The API is not ready yet, but the good news is a very basic API framework with a test endpoint is already working in production. But it’s only good for getting the quote of the day and nothing else
After I release the new targets database with offline capabilities I’ll take care of adding more endpoints (like target suggestions, search, etc.) and announcing the general availability in a newsletter.
Hello sebagr.
I would like to use the API, please let me know the release status of the API and how to use it.
The API is available now for patrons and sponsors. If you are patron now, you can go to Telescopius settings (in your user menu), and look for the API Keys section. In there you’ll be able to create API keys. For instructions on how to use it, you can check https://api.telescopius.com
Let me know if you have any question
